Chick Lit Romance Books Are Popular
People may scoff at the conventional 'boy meets girl' plot. However, it's proven success means that it's an ever popular theme in literature and all the genres that spin off the written word. Chick lit romance books are here to stay, and there's good reason for that.
After all, almost every woman has grown up with the idea of meeting the perfect someone and living happily ever after. Most men dream of the perfect girl - the perfect 10, the one who will be all in all to them. There's nothing wrong with these fantasies, and most people actually have at least one relationship that seems to fulfill that dream.
Being in love is great. You're the center of attention to someone else in a way that can't be duplicated. In return, all you want to do is let that person know how much you love them, how special they are. The stories of beautiful women (almost always) who encounter handsome men (almost always) trigger echoes of the strong emotions that true love inspires. What's not to like?
Of course, a truly skilled writer can engage the reader's sympathy for a girl not quite so beautiful. The new wife in 'Rebecca' was a much lesser light than the glamorous first wife. However, that was fine with the hero of the tale, who only wanted to forget the drama of his time with Rebecca, beautiful and treacherous. In the time-honored tradition of Cinderella, the girl is often poor and the man rich, but there are infinite variations on this theme. It's more modern to have a penniless but admirable young man attract the eye of a rich heiress, who has learned the emptiness of her privileged life.
Whether it's the Cinderella story or a modern reversal, it makes good reading. The inevitable misunderstanding or noble refusal to drag a loved one into mysterious complications moves the story along, but it's the emotional connection that is central and most compelling. In skilled hands, the characters live and breathe and the story line makes sense. Who cares if the formula has been used before?
Any of these scenarios can be true enough to life to make readers enjoy the process, and some are brilliant. The recent vampire series that took readers and movie goers by storm is just a clever twist on the same old same old. However, the engaging characters, the very real dangers they encounter, and the fact that everyone was pulling for the happy ending makes these books unforgettable. In fact, many people have favorite heroines and heroes that are as alive to them as their own family members.
Some of the classics are just this kind of reading. 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Persuasion', and 'Sense and Sensibility' never go out of style. 'Wuthering Heights' is another one that most girls love and to which critics give acclaim. "Romeo and Juliet' of course is the pinnacle, and there will probably never be an end to revisions of that one.
The real question is how much you enjoy this kind of book. If the answer is a lot, go for it without shame. Millions of readers are on the same journey with you. If what you want is pure entertainment that makes you cry, laugh, and sigh, nothing beats a good 'true love' story.
