When these needs are met, a romantic storyline transcends genre and becomes literary alchemy.

Every great romantic storyline has a "dark night of the soul"—the moment when all seems lost. This is usually the Third Act Breakup.

The mistake many writers make is forcing this breakup via an external villain or a simple misunderstanding. ("I saw you with your ex!" "It's not what you think!") Generic romance is forgettable

Instead, the most devastating breakups are internal and inevitable. The very traits that drew the lovers together are the ones that tear them apart.
