Question

why is the book "flipped" by wendelin van draanen considered a romance novel?

Answer 1

You already asked this question. Have you read the book? I already know the answer from just reading the wikipedia page about it.

Answer 2

Here is the answer (ie, the focus of the book). Look at the definitions here in art, classical, and romantic. What did Van Draanen focus on? Feelings?
