In this episode, Amy and Sarah introduce a new format, the State of the Field! Instead of a deep-dive book review, these episodes are a chance to discuss broader, genre-based questions and issues. Why has romance fiction become so popular in the 2020s? What's the line between romance and smut? Is it a 'true' romance plot if there's no Happily Ever After? Which trope are you breaking up with, and which Book Boyfriend are you taking home? Learn more about the State of the Field and your two fabulous hosts in this introductory episode.
