This is just a, I guess you could say defense of the book against the people complaining about a tr*shy romance novel. I think what some people forget about books like these is that there are many meanings for love, the Greek launguage has many.Eros: romantic, passionate love.Philia: intimate, authentic friendship. Erotoropia or ludus: playful, flirtatious love. Storge: unconditional, familial love. Philautia: compassionate self-love. Pragma: committed, companionate love. Agápe: empathetic, universal love.Our FL can fall under Eros, all the forms of love listed above are genuine forms of love. Not all love is based on a rational, heathy relationship, or personally.And news flash, a lot of books are like this, the relationship starts with physical attraction (and in some books with good writing,) grow in healthy relationships based on the person themselves.No the author is not saying "ugly people can't find love" which is very rude (no one is ugly, ones turn of may be another's type) It's just that's how these books are, it's two hot people being hot, if you don't like it, then don't read it.
