The Smart Bitches' guide is like a time warp to my college days, when I hung out on All About Romance and read the genre semi-religiously, picking up the internet slang and learning what was good and what wasn't. And that's the thing: romance readers are discerning and want to read the best, covers be damned, and Wendell and Tan's humor-tinged knack at pinpointing exactly what works, what doesn't, and why snobbery benefits no one is exactly the tonic all readers - of romance or not - should have.
