[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got Say You'll Remember Me on the lucky day shelf at MCPL.  I love Abby Jimenez books.  [/quote]
I had seen Abby Jimenez recommended here, and just forced my way through The Friend Zone, which was easily the worst book I ever made myself finish.  I checked Reddit, which suggested she has dreadful books and very good ones. I’m now wondering if there is some sort of writing conglomerate that uses her name?[/quote]

I hated the one book of hers that I read - but I've come to realize that romance just isn't my genre. [/quote]

I used to hate romance. So boring! So predictable! So cheesy!  But now I am 51 and I enjoy it have added some into my reading mix.[/quote]

What ones have you liked? I'm your age and a lot of people I know really enjoy romance. I don't even mind boring, predictable, and cheesy - I like cozy murder mysteries a lot. What drives me crazy in romance novels - at least the ones I've read - is that the characters just seem fundamentally incapable of having normal adult human conversations.

I don't mind two imperfect people having a hard time getting it together - I love that. I do mind a character never being able to express themselves and letting miscommunication or wrong impressions go on forever and ever because they refuse to open their mouths and speak.

Help me learn to like romance![/quote]
