2.5/5 Stars
General Description: Sally has been a long term writer at TNO (The Night Owls, essentially SNL or Saturday Night Live in book form). Noah is a pop star promoting his new album. The two meet in 2018 when he's the host and musical guest on the show. There's tension, but when COVID hits in 2020, their relationship changes. Will they be able to navigate a relationship in a COVID riddled world?
The 2.5 stars gained:
- I liked Noah overall as a character. He was one of the best parts of the book.
- The post covid time was a bit of a shock, but was still quite a bit of reality that was refreshing in this book.
- There was romance as advertised.
The 2.5 stars lost:
- Overall, very cringy vibes with some of the comments made during the comedy section, during the email section, and in the post-covid section.
- I did not like Sally which was unfortunate since she was the main character. I just didn't vibe with her.
- I personally did not find the book to have much comedy? Go back to the cringe point :P
Overall: I think if you're a fan of SNL and are looking for a very contemporary read, you'd like this book. If you're looking for a straight-up romance book or funny book, I don't think this is the book for you.
