    In this special Valentine's Day collab with A Novel Affair: Romance Bookstore, Nins & Arns share two books that made founders Yung & Julie cry. Nins takes it one step at a time in her reading of How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang. Arns witnesses the Vietnam War through the eyes of an army nurse in The Women by Kristin Hannah.
