"Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, the late night live comedy show that airs each 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?"-- Provided by publisher.

Loooved it! submitted by juliannacee on June 29, 2023, 12:12am The main character is so relateable - very well written!

Fun, easy read submitted by Emily LB on July 15, 2023, 7:15pm Great book! I loved the depiction and details of working at a show like SNL! Such a fun read! 4/5

Great dialogue submitted by adimarzo on July 20, 2023, 9:24am This was a fun, well written book about a comedy writer in her mid-thirties. The dialogue is funny and insightful and the characters are well developed.

Enjoyable read submitted by ehautman on July 23, 2023, 11:40pm Overall, it was an enjoyable read. The first part of the book which takes place on a comedy set modeled after SNL had be actually laughing out loud more than once. The middle section of the book got a little slow for me but the end was sweet with just the right amount of "cheesiness" one would expect from a book entitled Romantic Comedy.

Smart and breezy submitted by foilista on July 27, 2023, 2:06pm This was a great beach read - no one can do a smart and entertaining read like Curtis Sittenfeld! I literally couldn't put this book down, and finished it in a day. The depiction of SNL was especially insightful and entertaining.

Fun read! submitted by Cihendricks on August 3, 2023, 12:50pm This was a quick and enjoyable read. My SNL-fangirl heart loves it so much. It’s well written, the characters are relatable and engaging, and I couldn’t stop reading because I just had to know what was going to happen.

Hilarious and fast-paced submitted by A2AE on August 20, 2023, 7:45pm Absolutely deserves the hype as best book of the summer. I kept thinking about the characters days after I finished the book -- they're relatable, hilarious, interesting, and endearing. A great, light read and highly recommended.
