S06.28: HEA or GTFO
The cornerstone of the genre. The one thing that, when thrown into question, is guaranteed to enrage every corner of Romancelandia. We\u2019re talking about Happily Ever After (HEA). Its promise, its importance, its relevance to us as readers, writers and people in the world. We talk about what really makes it hard won and deserved for us \u2014 which means yes, we\u2019re talking about grovels and yes, we\u2019re talking about third act break ups, and yes, we\u2019re talking about patriarchy. Because of course we are. You\u2019ve probably heard us talk about all the books we\u2019re mentioning here\u2026greatest hits are hits for a reason, y\u2019all.\n\nThere are some audio issues with this one. Sorry, folks! It does get better at about 15 minutes in.
