Romance Novels – Good or Bad for You?

We want to be saved - a damsel in distress waiting for her prince charming. We expect to be wooed and have outrageous gestures. These expectations come from the endless amount of chick flicks and novels that have taken over our brain. Just like any other girl, I am a hopeless romantic that SOMETIMES has those high expectations (fortunately I have quite a romantic man to take care of me).

Contrary to popular belief, studies say that these romance novels actually CAN improve your life by making you feel better about yourself OR teaching you about true love. "Sure, a lot of the most romantic moments in our favorite books include big gestures, flying across the world or getting swept off to Paris. But in romance novels, the moments that matter most are the small ones: the way someone's hair smells or how they first look at you when you meet them. Romance novels prove it's a series of tiny (and realistic!) gestures that make for a true healthy, loving relationship." Read all the reasons here.
