Don’t goldfinch that book, my friend. Pass it over to me because, lord knows, as someone in the more-or-less female assemblage, I bring to you my unreliable taste in all things literary. Women, you know. We can’t be trusted to read a book.

Read all about it in this article by Jennifer Weiner up at The Guardian.
An important and very well-written article. Another observation: it’s sto annoying how male YA authors like John Green write “love stories” while women writers write “romances.”
I don’t know much about the YA world–thanks for the observation. Watching women untangle misogyny in the literary world has been fascinating.
