The Rotund has a great entry on body issues and how women are represented in romance novels. I personally don’t read romance novels, and typically I’ve only read so-called “chick-lit” when the book has somehow been forced into my hand. I have mixed feelings about romance novels or chick lit – while an attempt to genuinely reflect women’s experiences through women authors, women vary internally just as much as their body types do externally, and I think that onceupon (the name I typically know the blogger by) gets that complexity across quite well.
