informative
fast-paced
3.5
Big Thank You to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with an advanced copy
'I Love Romcoms and I Am a Feminist: A Manifesto in 100 Romcoms' is a book full of movies that give the free-of-guilt card to all of us who are feminists but feel like hiding a dirty little secret by enjoying rom-coms.
Written by a film reviewer (who provided the text with that delightful and poignant tone that the movie reviewers take up) who knows how to make the connection between fun rom-coms and women's rights.
Full of colorful and fun drawings of the movies, the book provides a lot of movies for one to check out if they haven't already, but it's also nice to read about the all time favs as well.
I would have loved however if at the movie info, the main actors and actresses were provided as a list. (the author does provide some names in the main text though).
