We’re falling in love with all things romance.
From beginning to middle to end, the human connection is what makes stories so addictive. Love stories. Heartbreak. Friendships. We grow to know their characters as our neighbors, every scene and page making us who we are.

Romance is one of the fastest-growing genres in media today. From Taylor Jenkens Reed to Bridgerton to The Bachelorette, find the latest and greatest in all things romance media, all in one place.
Real Girl, Fantasy World: Bachelor Ep 9
The Fantasy Suites are notoriously the most secretive, scandalous, and sexy night of the Bachelor franchise. And this week, we got a taste of why.
Hometowning Queens: Bachelor Ep 8
This season has been complicated with petty targeted drama, unprecedented social media up-ticks, unpredictable romantic choices, spoiler changes, and more. It’s crazy to think his time as a single bachelor is almost over (or is it?)
Buckingham & Bex: The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
I love a royal-esque romance as much as the next girl. And yet, from the start, Bex and Nick share anything but a classic romance. Boy meets girl, girl mentions a trend of syphilis and incest in boy’s family, girl hooks up repeatedly with boy’s best friend. You see what I mean? This book took me for a turn: did I even want to root for them?
Ultimate Love or Ultimatum: Bachelor Ep7
I’m sorry—it’s already the week before hometowns?!? How has this season flown by so quickly.
How Do You Solve a Lover Like Maria?: Bachelor Ep6
I knew who was going home before the rose ceremony even started. What I didn’t see? Who shot themselves in the foot and sent themselves packing.
Fifth Time’s The Charm: Love Is Blind S5
After four seasons and a worldwide pandemic, Netflix is still asking the same age-old question: Is love blind? The truth: I don’t think any of the relationships this season would have lasted post-pods without mutual attraction. But that doesn’t mean they all found love…
Sayonara, Sydney: Bachelor Ep4 & 5
Back at the house, drama about the drama about the drama is still happening (if you can follow that). Sydney is disappointed MARIA didn’t get sent home, hatching a plan with Lea to get her out. Don’t think 2-on-1 was what she has in mind.
Mrs. Drama Queens: Bachelor Ep3
At this point, justice for Medina! Everyone needs to stop talking about the drama like she asked. Drop it. Let the girl have a moment of insecurity without being made the drama-of-the-week for a cheap screen time opportunity.
When in Doubt, Ask Cosmo: Seven Exes by Lucy Vine
A girl decides to contact all of her exes after reading a Cosmo-esque article that says she’ll only have seven significant boyfriends? Sounds like a recipe for a perfect romcom (a la “What’s My Number” starring Anna Farris).
Everything’s Coming Up Daisy: Bachelor Ep 2
On tonight’s episode of “Who Wants to Be an Influencer,” Joey’s looking for love and finding it almost immediately with DAISY. But I’m getting ahead of myself…
Golden Boy: Bachelor S28 Premiere
Do I have any idea who Joey is? No. Do I care? No. He looks like a golden retriever personified, with curly brown hair and “I’m searching for love” written across his forehead. So, I decided to call off my bachelor dry spell off. Sue me!
The Top 3s of 2023
I’ll admit, I haven’t seen every movie this year. I have some strong opinions. Bbut here are my top three picks for each medium in 2023.
February Favorite
One Day (2011)
This movie is in no way new, with A-List starlet Anne Hathaway of this year’s highly-anticipated “The Idea of You” opposite ‘00s British heartthrob Dexter Mayhew, but it will quickly become a winter favorite. A first-time fling that turns into a lifelong friends-to-lovers will-they-won’t-they, this movie will make you swoon and break your heart. Plus, the remake limited series arrives on Netflix February 8th.
Laugh-out-loud quotes
“The feeling I get from this book is that its more about the plot that the story, which neglects my favorite part of reading: not what happens but how and why. And she lists Kasteel Well as being in Amsterdam. Don't know why that bothered me so much.”
— on FRESH by Margot Wood
“It’s a bit more British than most books I read, and I know that sounds weird, but I absolutely found myself developing an accent after long periods of reading, thinking of each character’s voice so much when reading.”
— on The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
“It’s all very Romeo and Juliet, if Romeo made a tally of every time Juliet wore a skirt to work and then crashed every almost-date or work meeting Juliet had because he was jealous, followed by telling sexual dreams from the night before.”
— on The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
