Do you read sad books?

Join our discussion as we talk through sad books, books that made us think, books that made us cry, and whether we *should* read sad books.

We talk: upmarket fiction, literary fiction, genre fiction, what makes a "romance" book, and more!

We want to know your thoughts: does a romance book need a "HEA" to be considered romance?

Join along and let us know what you think!
