In this monthly book club just for teens, we dive into a different romance novel each month—discussing themes, tropes, characters, and what makes a love story work. From slow burns to fantasy pairings to seasonal anthologies, we explore all kinds of romance with depth, humor, and heart.
📖 This class—like all WordPlay Classes!—is taught by a real published author who brings professional writing insight to every discussion—helping students think like both readers and writers as we analyze how these books are built and why they work.
Whether you’re a long-time romance fan or just starting to explore the genre, this club offers a fun, welcoming space to connect with fellow book lovers, share opinions, and engage in thoughtful conversation.
Each month’s book stands on its own—so you can join for just one month or attend regularly!
This club helps build literary analysis skills, reading comprehension, and confidence in sharing ideas.
