THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK 'A hilarious, sweet, smart read that you're going to love!' REESE WITHERSPOON 'A rollercoaster of modern love and dating' STYLIST 'Biting, pacy, great fun' SUNDAY TIMES A TV script writer thinks she's done with romance, until an unlikely love interest upends all her assumptions: a humorous, sharp and tender novel from the bestselling author of Eligible, American Wife and Prep. _____________ Life is (not)* a Romantic Comedy... After a series of heartbreaks, Sally Milz - successful script writer for a legendary late-night TV comedy show - has long abandoned the search for love. But when her friend and fellow writer begins to date a glamorous actress, he joins the growing club of interesting but average-looking men who get romantically involved with accomplished, beautiful women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch, poking fun at this 'social rule'. The reverse never happens for a woman. Then Sally meets Noah, a pop idol with a reputation for dating models. But this isn't a romantic comedy - it's real life. Would someone like him ever date someone like her? Skewering all our certainties about why we fall in love, ROMANTIC COMEDY is a witty and probing tale of how the heart will follow itself, no matter what anyone says. It is Curtis Sittenfeld at her most sharp, daring and compassionate best. ----------------- WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: 'This book is heavenly. i just had a hilariously enjoyable masterclass in writing' ***** 'Hilarious and screwball and warm' ***** 'A book that helps transport you away' ***** 'She makes the characters much more real than ordinary romcoms***** Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, April 2023 Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick, April 2023… (more)
