Simon Pulse Romantic comedies: Harlequin for preteens

For those who havn't heard of Simon Pulse Romantic comedies here's a simple explanation. It's a large romantic comedy series meant for preteens. The stories are short, and the plots are usually fairly simple. Now I personally like to believe this is just Harlequin romance but for preteens. You know if you take away the sex, the large breasts, the whole 'every guy is a billionaire/millionaire/prince/or some other rich profession', add in some cheap comedy, and BOOM you got a Simon Pulse romantic comedy.
The similarities between the two companies is simple: the books are quick reads, and are meant as wish fulfillment for the readers. Harlequin ideal audience are bored housewives who don't get enough sex, while Simon's ideal audience is unkissed girls ages 8-12. Both companies only publish books which have happy ending, and their covers are very goofy looking. Harlequin's covers always feature a half-naked beautiful girl making out with a hot guy (and I've noticed that most of the covers are kinda alike. I see the same positions of the models, and occasionally the same models). While Simon pulse covers are usually a cartoon-like girl and a boy about to kiss, or doing something together. Some covers just feature the main heroine doing something that reflects on the story. Example: One Simon pulse book was about luck and playing cards, so the cover was a girl playing poker. It's very simple".
A year ago I was a big fan of these romantic comedies, and I don't really hate them today. They were just fun reads, even though I never really got the comedy in it. I reccomend the books are kids ages 8-11, even though I never got the comedy maybe you can.
