Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
TWO SENTENCE SUMMARY
Sally, A female writer on a “Saturday Night Live” type show has sworn off love completely. Which is fine, until finds herself unexpectedly starting to fall for the show’s upcoming celebrity host and singer.
WHAT I LIKED MOST AND WHAT FRUSTRATED ME
What I liked: give me a behind the scenes book any day. Even though this was fiction, I felt like I was living in the SNL offices and I loved every minute of it. I ate up every second of Sally’s life as a show writer.
What frustrated me the most was when the book entered covid times. But this is an incredibly personal preference. I prefer when books take place in a relatively covid free time. That being said, I thought that Sittenfeld managed that situation incredibly well and I didn’t mind it as much as I normally would. It also helped that it was not the majority of the book. If it had been, I might have put the book down.
