Yesterday, HuffPo hosted a mini face-off between "This Is Not Chick Lit" editor Elizabeth Merrick and "This Is Chick Lit" contributor Rachel Pine about the relative merits of the genre (our take is here). As Carrie Bradshaw might say, we couldn't help but wonder: what makes chick lit, and should you, in fact, judge a book by its cover? We played around a bit in Photoshop (hat tip: Adnan Hajj) and leave it to you figure out.
