I had an interesting request on twitter…always the best place to express detailed opinions I think but it was fun attempting to summarise a point. I was asked…

“Do I think Romance Fiction gives unreal expectations for relationships?”

Answer and I will give a bit more detail here because it is a blog…

Of course it does…everything pretty much gives us unreal expectations whether it is the first Disney film with Prince Charming and Cinders and her impossibly tiny waist and huge Emma Stone eyes to FSOG and a guy that can Go…All…Night!! But here’s the thing I would no more expect to settle down with a kinky billionaire than I would be looking to settle down with a hobbit owning a shiny gold ring. It’s fantasy…it’s romance yes but it is still escapism. And honestly, thank fuck for that!
