Someone just told me that you can enjoy romance novels to the fullest only in your teens, twenties, and early thirties, and then they don't feel the same. Someone please tell me this is false 😭

Hope that's true! Looks like there are some people who lose that fluttery feeling in romance books 😔

Achim For me it's more a question of mood than age. As long as an author makes me believe (and in case of romance: feel) I'm in and always will be.

Yesss! That's how it is for me too. She said she totally moved on from romance to thrillers and fantasy and that she has a hard time buying into romance in those ones as well. That's why I got so worried about this 🥲 (Sorry for the late replies btw. I'm back here after like a week)

No need to be worried. Read what you want to read. Maybe she just overindulged and needs something different now. Let's see if she's coming back some time later after fantasy and thriller are not enough anymore 🤗
