never in my life have I read a Connect 4 game more riddled with sexual tension than in How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang.

This week, we’re talking about FILM ADAPTATION AND ROMANCE NOVELS with Yulin Kuang, filmmaker and romance novelist.

We discuss her work as both a screenwriter and director (she’s writing and directing the adaptation of Emily Henry’s Beach Read), and her debut romance novel, How to End a Love Story, set inside the writers room on a television show between the author of the books the show is adapting (the heroine) and one of the writers in the room (the hero). We talk about why romance adaptations are so difficult to find, why they don’t often hit quite like we expect, and we pitch a few books we��d like to see Hollywood take a crack at.

TOP 20 OF 2024: How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m celebrating my 20 favorite romance novels of the year, and How to End a Love Story easily makes the list. Winner of Goodreads’ Best Debut this year, Kuang’s devastating romance makes an impact. I was an ARC reader on this one and woefully unprepared for how much it was going to play with my emotions, delivering extreme tension one minute, playful banter the next, and…

Helen Zhang and Grant Shepherd haven’t seen each other since high school. Connected by a tragic accident, each of them has gone on to a career in writing. Helen has written a bestselling young adult series and Grant has moved to LA and flourished as a screenwriter. When Helen’s series gets picked up to be turned into a TV show she is surprised to find Grant on the writing team. Helen is used to pushing down her emotions to move past difficulties in life and thinks she can do the same with working with Grant but the more she gets to know him the more her emotions rise to the surface. Enemies to lovers romances are my favorite trope so I was ready to absolutely love the journey this author was going to take me on. I loved the setting and thought their being teamed up to re-write her novel for television was an interesting event that could create conflict and drama. There was definitely conflict since both of them felt very deeply about what happened in the past and had a hard time moving on from it. I think it was the approach Helen took that I got stuck on. Helen pushed down her emotions and in her family dynamic was to not cause any undue stress on her parents. A totally real construct and in fact, I could see myself maybe doing something similar but it did make Helen a little cold. It wasn’t until the last third of the book that I felt like she became a warm blooded character and I enjoyed their story a little bit more. Grant’s way of dealing with the past was to put on a charming front, making him great at his job coordinating writers, as well as a likable character. He seemed warm from the start. This is just a really small think but I think it affected my feelings for the characters and inhibited my rooting for them earlier than I did. Despite Helen’s cool characteristics, the story was really interesting, Grant was engaging and the other cast of characters were also very enjoyable to read. I totally understand why this is on the bestseller list, I personally just had that one thing that held me back from enjoying the first half of the story as much as I guess everyone else did. ❤️❤️❤️❣️ Click this link to purchase this book!* How to End a Love Story Copyright 2024 The Reading Chick All Rights Reserved *Amazon Associate- if you purchase this book through the above link I’ll receive a small stipend.

whenever I see that a character is from New Jersey, I have a pathological need to a) see which part of Jersey, and b) look up the author and see if they're from Jersey
