Are Colleen Hoover Books Actually Romance? We’re Not So Sure Anymore
Description
Summer may be flying by, but we’re hitting pause to ask a big question: what even is romance anymore? In this episode, Meaghan and Shirin unpack the emotional rollercoaster that is Colleen Hoover’s catalog.
From domestic abuse to infidelity and infertility, her books are packed with heavy themes that leave us wondering: are we still reading romance, or just trauma fiction with a love story on the side?
We talk about the rise of Hoover’s popularity, what makes a book truly “romantic,” and why picking up her novels expecting a light, happy read might leave you emotionally wrecked instead. Plus, Shirin admits to reading It Starts With Us completely out of order, which… explains a lot. Come hang out as we debate where Colleen Hoover fits in the genre world — and what we really want from romance novels these days.
