From Hollywood with Love: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of the Romantic Comedy by Scott Meslow
lighthearted
relaxing
5.0
A love letter to my favourite genre, and gave me a whole new list of movies to watch and rewatch so I can best appreciate the stories told. There’s a kindness often missing from discussions around romcoms in this book, while also posing a critical eye to the whiteness and heteronormativity that has historically plagued the genre. Will definitely be rereading as I make my way through all the movies discussed!
