A Recast of ‘Whoa!mance: Romance, Feminism, and Ourselves’

Listen romance novels are bonkers and we love them, love reading about them, love talking about them and love critically engaging with genre--it can handle the scrutiny. Here at Whoa!mance we tackle everything from the classics (looking at you Woodiwiss) to the current moment; all tropes, all subgenres, all comers. Romance deserves critical inquiry and you deserve a no-bullshit space where actual reviews are given.
