Chick
literature, for people who don’t know it is the kind of books which guys avoid
and the ones that cater to women regardless of the age. I’m not sure if you
have heard of Mills and Boon publications or Nora Roberts or Debbie Macomber,
who are quite famous authors of the contemporary Romance novella. (I see you
now get the point why they cater to women). It doesn't matter that my favorite
authors are Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the Bronte Sister. These are the authors
who are the reigning queens in the kingdom of romance.
So
you wonder what is it about Chick Lit that attracts women, I wondered myself.
It is set in the most idealistic situation where the male protagonist in
inevitably the handsomest man on town, exuding manliness, with the bad boy
reputation. Needless to say more often than not he is stinking rich and falls
in love with the most unlikely candidate who is our heroine, the independent
and beautiful. In short a beauty with a brain. The man rough around the edges
and the fierce lioness, experience this intense physical attraction, of course
they are mutual so unlike the real life. One leads to another, fall in love and
they end up getting married with or without the quick tumble between sheets.
And they love and live happily ever after in the world where the possibility of
them breaking is next to Nil. The money is never the problem for it is a given.
The guy or the girl is mostly stinking rich come on. The man who is tamed by
love of the purest form becomes a dream boy to every woman; to every woman who
is reading the book giving enough reason to escape to the unreal.
Well
I stopped wondering why quite a while ago!
