Romantic Comedy

 Fiction by Curtis Sittenfeld


Remember in 2018 when Ariana Grande started dating Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson and then they got engaged and then they broke up? And the whole thing was all in practically the same month? Well, apparently it inspired this book.

Curtis Sittenfeld looked at that situation and noted that we can often see a super-hot GIRL start going out with a funny-but-not-attractive GUY, but you never see the roles reversed. Would a super-hot MALE guest on SNL suddenly fall in love with a regular-looking FEMALE writer or cast member? Sure! Well, in fiction, anyways...

This is a really good straight romance with a lot of humor and good characters.


I also read by this author: American Wife
