About this listen

Smart, funny and passionate: An ode to a beloved genre and a brilliantly insightful piece of cultural criticism

Acclaimed author Ella Risbridger takes romantic fiction seriously, as a fan and a thinker, in this original book, journeying through the genre's rich history and many fascinating iterations.

In Love with Love is a tour through romantic fiction, a loving but sharp assessment of these books and our reading habits, and a celebration of generations of longing glances...
