Come LOL and get all the food for thought in the first Marope Takeover, where my mother and aunt share their definition of "age gap" as well their complex feelings and concerns when it comes to age gap romance. Their initial thoughts? Hard pass. It's a trope that needs nuanced handling to avoid putting readers in all kinds of quandaries, so it gets interesting quick! I don't know if Mariana Zapata, Carian Cole & Akwaeke Emezi will change their minds...

Are you a fan of the trope? Have you read the books and already have strong feelings? Leave a voice message for the Maropes on Anchor at anchor.fm/kate-marope/message. 

A transcript of this episode will be available as a blog post by June 18, 2022.
