Romantic Comedy
By Sittenfeld, Curtis
A comedy writer thinks she's sworn off love, until a dreamily handsome pop star flips the script on all her assumptions - a hilarious, observant and deeply tender novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Eligible, Rodham, and Prep. Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, the late-night live comedy show that airs each Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she's long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life. But when Sally's friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show - and in society at large - who've gotten romantically involved with incredibly beautiful and accomplished women.
