spinach,
you

Re: confusing
Romance readers will, in fact, leave the romance section of the bookstore. Other readers will too, but romance readers do it the most.
It is a confusing thing -- it's all confusing. Genre is mostly fluid -- readers will read what they like, usually, regardless of where the bookstore puts it. On the other hand, if the bookstore doesn't put the book the book's audience is looking, not too many people are going to go out of their way searching.
