way to go, dear abby!
Did y'all read Dear Abby yesterday? The first letter is titled, "Teen's taste for steamy novels doesn't sit well with mother."Since it's copyrighted material, I can't copy the letters here, so READ THIS:
http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/?uc_full_date=20060902 & then we'll discuss. :-)
(If you have trouble finding the article or the letter has changed, you can always go to www.dearabby.com, then scroll down a bit to the "Dear Abby Archive" & go to any date you want. This particular letter is for Saturday, September 2, 2006.)
You can tell from the last paragraph of Abby's response that she hasn't read a romance novel in a while. :-P But all in all, I'd say she did a good job. And I think the girl's mother should start reading romances, too...that way she'd not only know what her daughter was reading, but be familiar enough with authors & lines/imprints to both recommend titles & keep the girl from reading things that really may be a bit too hot for her.
That's what my advice would have been, anyway. *g*
