What’s it about?

Sally Milz is a writer for a once a week late night comedy show (think Saturday Night Live).  When Sally's office mate and fellow writer, Danny Horst, begins to date a glamorous actress Sally is more than annoyed.  After all, Danny is a not so great looking male writer- what Does Annabel even see in him?  Sally sees a contradiction- no great looking men are hitting on average looking female writers.  So she writes a comedy sketch for the next show.  And then Noah Brewster guest hosts and sparks begin to fly....

What did it make me think about?

Who doesn't love a good romance?

Should I read it?

Curtis Sittenfeld always writes interesting characters.  I love a good romantic comedy. This is a light, fun novel that will make you smile along the way.

A passage I marked

-

" 'In this sketch,' he said 'I'd be breaking the law because I'm so much better looking than a woman I'm dating?' "
