A Little Romance: GenX's First Teen RomCom

Today we’re saving the 1979 sleeper hit, “A Little Romance,” the quiet little movie that captured tweenage hearts, gave millions of kids their first crush on a newcomer named Diane Lane, and made us all want to ride in a gondola under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice … at sunset … and have an innocent kiss with our first crush. How did we miss this movie? Did you? Listen as we give every second of it our long overdue accolades and discuss why media that illustrates the innocence of first love matters.For more info on Kristin's Book Launch Party.
