I love many movies and book genres, but one that I think is excelling in the book world but floundering in the movie world are romantic comedies.

According to Book Riot, one of the predictions for 2024 in the book world was the rise of romance subgenres — including the rom-com. Over the past couple of years, many popular romantic-comedy novels have come out, such as “The Unmatchmakers,” “Book Lovers,” “Get a Life, Chloe Brown” and “Love, Theoretically.”
