Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
4.5

Many thanks to my friends at @prhaudio for the #gifted audiobook.
 
An absolute delight!  I was lost in a haze of dreamy swoons and deep belly laughs.  
 
Here’s the rundown: 
💞Sharp and witty examination of the messiness of dating
💞GREAT banter
💞A dreamboat of a main man
💞A smart female mc who is (mostly) confident in her talents
💞Emotionally smart
💞Open communication 
 
The story is told in three parts, each of which worked well in creating the full scope of this relationship: 
 
💟Part one:  This is where we get the SNL-type weeklong show prep.  I am a big fan of SNL, so I loved this behind the scenes look.  It was accentuated by those first signs of banter and interest between Noah and Sally.  
 
💟Part two:  My FAVORITE.  This section is a homerun, 5⭐️ in epistolary format.  The reconnecting and playful flirting.  I had a bad case of butterflies and longed for Noah and Sally to take this thing from paper to reality.  
 
💟Part three:  Learning to be together.  This is where the relationship is put to the test as it develops and matures with some bumps along the way.  I was sold on Noah and Sally by this point and desperately hoped for an HEA for them.   
 
This was just the feel good book I needed!  I blushed.  I cackled.  I was giddy with delight.  One of my favorite rom-coms of the year.    
 
🎧 I could not listen to this book fast enough.  Kristen Sieh is a phenomenal narrator, and she did not disappoint in this narration.  Her portrayal was enthusiastic and engaging.  You’ll finish the book before you even realize how much time has passed.  I’d wholeheartedly recommend the audiobook for this one.
