How do you get free of the damnable books of Romance when everybody else is still living in them?

About This Quote

There is a minor issue in the world of romance. We all love to read the books that we find in our favorite genre or author and we love to share them with others. However, it is hard to get away from reading about relationships when your friends are still living through relationships. There are a plethora of books out there about romance, but it is hard to be seen as someone who doesn’t live in a romantic setting.
