Anyone who thinks that romance novels are all light and fluffy and never tackle any big issues is full of crap. In fact, romance novels with characters facing depression, PTSD, social anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and many other mental health issues aren't at all uncommon these days. Don't believe me? Well, take a look at THESE:    

A Good Man by Rosanna Leo

Mental health issue tackled: PTSD

Split by JB Salsbury

Mental health issue tackled: You can probably guess, but I'm afraid that me saying it *might* be kind of spoiler-y. Just trust me. This one's a mind-bender that's highly worth a read.

Be With Me by L.E. Wilson
