Creating new, unique relationships can go unnoticed by readers, even if they would enjoy it.

These are books written mainly by women, for women, and I'm sure that's a lot of the reason why people don't take them seriously.<br />I especially liked your advice to "do the opposite" of what the reader expects. I'll think hard about that one for my next novel.
