Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A comedy writer thinks she’s sworn off love, until a dreamy pop star flips the script on all her assumptions—a “smart, sophisticated, and fun” (Oprah Daily) novel from the author of Eligible, Rodham, and Prep.

“Full of dazzling banter and sizzling chemistry.”—People

“If you ever wanted a backstage pass to Saturday Night Live, this is the book for you.”—Zibby Owens, Good Morning America

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, USA Today, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, Harper’s Bazaar, Real Simple, She Reads, New York Post

Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, a late-night live comedy show that airs every Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life.

But when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show—and in society at large—who’ve gotten romantically involved with incredibly beautiful and accomplished women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch called The Danny Horst Rule, poking fun at this phenomenon while underscoring how unlikely it is that the reverse would ever happen for a woman.

Enter Noah Brewster, a pop music sensation with a reputation for dating models, who signed on as both host and musical guest for this week’s show. Dazzled by his charms, Sally hits it off with Noah instantly, and as they collaborate on one sketch after another, she begins to wonder if there might actually be sparks flying. But this isn’t a romantic comedy—it’s real life. And in real life, someone like him would never date someone like her . . . right?

With her keen observations and trademark ability to bring complex women to life on the page, Curtis Sittenfeld explores the neurosis-inducing and heart-fluttering wonder of love, while slyly dissecting the social rituals of romance and gender relations in the modern age.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A love letter to the prototypical rom-com . . . Sittenfeld’s work exists in the dissection and comprehension of female desire: what we want, what we absolutely don’t and, maybe paramount, what we’re even allowed to have. . . . A fizzy ride.”The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)

“From the heart to the funny bone . . . What makes all this particularly delightful is that the woman narrating Romantic Comedy is hyper-aware of the conventions of romantic comedy, and she knows full well that real life is no fairy tale. But could it be this time?”—The Washington Post

“If you’re in need of [a] smart, sophisticated, and fun diversion right now (and who isn’t), this is your book. Like her literary foremother Jane Austen, Sittenfeld brings together exquisitely sharp dialogue that fizzes, excruciating sexual tension, and incisive social observation.”Oprah Daily

Sort of boring

Idk! Maybe it’s just not to my taste! I already knew at lot about snl so that part seemed kind of boring and the love story… idk pretty run of the mill? The main character is kind of annoying with her self doubt and her character is hard to understand because of it. + I’m not a fan of COVID stories - I lived it I don’t need to read about how much it sucked!

Predictable and not terribly funny.

Enjoyed the industry insights and behind the scenes storylines - unfortunately the story was so predictable that the novelty and humour didn’t quite make up for it.

Not a romantic comedy. It is political satire

This book was incredibly boring. It is very misleading with the title Romantic Comedy. It is absolutely not a romance book nor is it a comedy. It is about an insecure, middle-age woman, living through the pandemic who has strong opinions about race, gender, and politics, who falls in love with a superstar. The falling in love part is condensed into a very short portion of this book that is put into about three or four days and that’s it. The part that got me was her stepdad that was at the complete end, and that was the most interesting part of this book, the stepdad and his dog sugar. I cannot stress enough how non-funny this book was, and how much internal monologue went on in this book. This book was so underwhelming and uninteresting I’m curious about who this author is and the life she / he leads. I’m also curious as to why this book became popular as well. Because it is not good at least not in the romance genre. Do not read it, it is really not good, unless you like political books, then yes, read it. But if you’re a romance reader. It is not it. I would also like to mention I only finished it because it was part of a book club. And I would return it if I could.

Lighthearted, entertaining, cute

A lighthearted, fun, cute storyline. I enjoyed listening to this one. Easy to get through, and entertaining. If you are looking for a cute, easy read, I would recommend this book. Narration was good!

Painfully dull

It’s hard to listen to something set in the comedy world, that’s so profoundly humourless

What a romcom should be

Loved it. The new generation of romantic comedy for intelligent readers. Shocked at reviews saying they didn't like Sally. To me she was flawed but terrific. We all get it wrong sometimes in relationships. This was entertaining and romantic, a perfect escape binge!

I am on the fence

I don’t think I liked Sally very much, but I really liked that she was relatable and real. I loved the narration!
