If you enjoy a good romantic comedy, you really need to check out Emma St. Clair’s Love Cliché Series. It centres on five young women, their friendship, and their romantic journeys. The characters have depth; the situations have poignancy and humour. Sometimes they’re even a little wacky. But throughout, you will find excellent writing, great stories, and always an HEA.
