You can read it when you're in the depths of depression.
You can read it when you're happy and content.
You can always find something in it.
It's the perfect book to give, I think.
I think it is and I think it's one of the themes that we've sort of lost.
So I think that's one of the other reasons she's experiencing a renaissance because everything's so dark and bleak geopolitically at the moment.
It's sometimes nice to escape into a film like this and her films are very much inspired by
those great romantic classics of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
So it appeals to all that nostalgia in us.
But she just...
The appeal of a romantic comedy is so special because she writes about the deeper stuff about men and women, how they relate to each other.
She really sees them as men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
And we've forgotten about that, too, with political correctness, I think.
That's been sort of erased from how we can write about women, where there's really, really...
How men and women talk about each other still to this day in private, and I'm talking about funny stuff like, you know, we'll all recognise that and we can't really put that on screen anymore or in books anymore because it's considered on PC and actually it's...
it's truthful, and it's very, very funny.
Like, there's a line in Sleepers in Seattle where a group of them are around a table talking about a film, and Tom Hanks just delivers this line perfectly where he just says, sounds like a chick flick.
And it's really, really funny because it's just...
You know, it's just a guy saying what he thinks about this film that the women are really, really interested in.
And it perfectly sort of encapsulates how men and women think about each other's interests sometimes.
