Subgenre: Vacation Romance

Arts, Education, Society & Culture

Kathleen, Georgia, and Amy are sitting back and relaxing into this week’s episode as they discuss the forever escapist subgenre of Vacation Romance. The Lovers define the subgenre, discuss its fantastical and immersive qualities, and the industry trends (from beach holidays to cottage core escape). And of course, this episode serves as nothing less than eternal praise of the Vacation Romance queen: Emily Henry.
