Resumen del Editor
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A comedy writer thinks she’s sworn off love, until a dreamy pop star flips the script on all her assumptions—a “smart, sophisticated, and fun” (Oprah Daily) novel from the author of Eligible, Rodham, and Prep.
“Full of dazzling banter and sizzling chemistry.”—People
“If you ever wanted a backstage pass to Saturday Night Live, this is the book for you.”—Zibby Owens, Good Morning America
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, USA Today, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, Harper’s Bazaar, Real Simple, She Reads, New York Post
Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, a late-night live comedy show that airs every 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. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch called The Danny Horst Rule, poking fun at this phenomenon while underscoring how unlikely it is that the reverse would ever happen for a woman.
Enter Noah Brewster, a pop music sensation with a reputation for dating models, who signed on as both host and musical guest for this week’s show. Dazzled by his charms, Sally hits it off with Noah instantly, and as they collaborate on one sketch after another, she begins to wonder if there might actually be sparks flying. But this isn’t a romantic comedy—it’s real life. And in real life, someone like him would never date someone like her . . . right?
With her keen observations and trademark ability to bring complex women to life on the page, Curtis Sittenfeld explores the neurosis-inducing and heart-fluttering wonder of love, while slyly dissecting the social rituals of romance and gender relations in the modern age.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“A love letter to the prototypical rom-com . . . Sittenfeld’s work exists in the dissection and comprehension of female desire: what we want, what we absolutely don’t and, maybe paramount, what we’re even allowed to have. . . . A fizzy ride.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)
“From the heart to the funny bone . . . What makes all this particularly delightful is that the woman narrating Romantic Comedy is hyper-aware of the conventions of romantic comedy, and she knows full well that real life is no fairy tale. But could it be this time?”—The Washington Post
“If you’re in need of [a] smart, sophisticated, and fun diversion right now (and who isn’t), this is your book. Like her literary foremother Jane Austen, Sittenfeld brings together exquisitely sharp dialogue that fizzes, excruciating sexual tension, and incisive social observation.”—Oprah Daily

Chris Kattan has defied comparison, expectations, and sometimes gravity with his inimitable style of physical comedy. By creating some of the most memorable Saturday Night Live characters, as well as his many roles in film and television, Kattan has remained one of the most fearless and versatile comedians in the world.

Historia
For the past 20 years, Liv and Eliot Goldenhorn have run In Love in New York, Brooklyn’s beloved wedding-planning business. When Eliot dies unexpectedly, he even more unexpectedly leaves half of the business to his younger, blonder girlfriend, Savannah. Liv and Savannah are not a match made in heaven, to say the least. But what starts as a personal and professional nightmare transforms into something even savvy, cynical Liv Goldenhorn couldn’t begin to imagine.

Historia
If there’s one trait that makes someone well-suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch - metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

Historia
Charlotte has spent her 20s adrift, searching for a spark to jump-start her life and give her a sense of purpose. She’s had as many jobs as she’s had bad relationships, and now she’s feeling especially lost in her less-than-glamorous gig at a pie-and-fry joint in Los Angeles, where the uniforms are bad and the tips are even worse. Then she collides - literally - with Adam, an intriguing, handsome, and mysterious painter.

Rocketing to world fame at age 21, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture’s commodification of women is the subject of this book.

Declan has commitment issues. He’s been an office temp for literally years now, and his friends delight in telling people that he left his last boyfriend at the altar. And that’s all true. But he’s starting to think that maybe it’s time to start working on his issues. When Declan meets Sidney - a popular nonbinary YouTuber with an advice show - an opportunity presents itself: as part of The Love Study, Declan will go on a series of dates arranged by Sidney and report back on how the date went in the next episode. The dates are…sort of blah.

The cynical dating app creator controls her love life with a few key rules: nude pics are by invitation only; if someone stands you up, block them with extreme prejudice; protect your heart.

Now middle-aged, he lives mostly happily in California with a job at a university.

It begins at a meeting for potential new members: Raj thrills to find an African American couple on the list; he dreams of a more diverse club. But in an effort to connect, he makes a racist joke.

Hannah Gavener is 14 in the summer of 1991. In the magazines she reads, celebrities plan elaborate weddings; in Hannah’s own life, her parents’ marriage is crumbling. And somewhere in between these two extremes - just maybe - lie the answers to love’s most bewildering questions. But over the next decade and a half, as she moves from Philadelphia to Boston to Albuquerque, Hannah finds that the questions become more rather than less complicated: At what point can you no longer blame your adult failures on your messed-up childhood?

Throughout the 10 stories in You Think It, I'll Say It, Sittenfeld upends assumptions about class, relationships, and gender roles in a nation that feels both adrift and viscerally divided. With moving insight and uncanny precision, Curtis Sittenfeld pinpoints the questionable decisions, missed connections, and sometimes extraordinary coincidences that make up a life. Indeed, she writes what we're all thinking - if only we could express it with the wit of a master satirist, the storytelling gifts of an old-fashioned raconteur, and the vision of an American original.

Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant 14-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.

Historia
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant 14-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.

Ten years ago, after a sun-soaked summer spent in Greece, best friends Bess and Joni were cleared of having any involvement in their friend Evangeline’s death. But that didn’t stop the media from ripping apart their teenage lives like vultures. While the girls were never convicted, Joni, ever the opportunist, capitalized on her newfound infamy to become a motivational speaker. Bess, on the other hand, resolved to make her life as small and controlled as possible so she wouldn’t risk losing everything all over again. And it almost worked.

Not really for me
This book is definitely for somebody, but it wasn’t for me. On paper, I seem like the target demo: I’m a liberal feminist woman in my late 20s who loves romantic comedies and was looking for something light to read, but Romantic Comedy was at points kind of exhausting to get through.
The main character, Sally, wasn’t quite annoying enough for me to stop reading, but she was annoying enough that I didn’t like her and wasn’t really rooting for her. She has many faults (cynicism, cruelty, anxiety, insecurity, self-importance) and learns next to nothing after they get in her way. Noah, her love interest, is a golden retriever of a man- he’s nice, and that’s really his only defining characteristic. Their chemistry (and their fights) read as contrived to me.
Also obnoxious (to me personally - you may love this) were the references to politics and to covid. Again, I’m aligned with Curtis Sittenfeld politically, if not even more left-leaning than she is, but romance novels released in 2023 don’t need to rehash the 2016 election. We get it, Hillary Clinton is the savior of upper middle class white ladies who still use Facebook, but aren’t we all exhausted? The “Hillary should’ve won” discourse isn’t productive and it doesn’t really even ring true for a character like Sally who always sees the worst in everyone. It’s, as Sally would say, pretty cheesy.
Two thirds of the book take place during covid, and it’s HEAVY on the covid. I’ve been there, done that. I lived through the pandemic and don’t really need to live through it again in my beach reads. It didn’t work well for me. Along the same lines, there really was hardly any plot in the book in general. I kept waiting for something (anything) to happen, but nothing really did. The conflicts all felt contrived and so did Sally and Noah’s closeness. I wasn’t fully convinced that this couple even would like one another, and if I could suspend my disbelief for long enough to pretend that they would, there was no real reason for them not to just be together already.
There are a few positives though. It’s a light read, and it was easy to follow even as I was doing other things. I liked that Sally was in her late 30s instead of younger. There are some nice moments of cute rom com fantasy fluff that sneak through the cynicism. The narrator was great. And like I said before, even though it wasn’t my favorite, I can definitely tell that some people will love this book. I wish I was one of those people, but not everything can be for everyone, and that’s okay. Curtis Sittenfeld is obviously a talented writer, and I’ll give one of her other books a try.

Delightful Losten
This was such a fun listen and is one I can imagine myself returning to on a summer vacation. Curtis is such a smart writer and I love pretty much anything she gives us, and this was no exception. I enjoyed Kristen’s narration too.

Perfect read
Perfect read. Very witty and clever writing. Read it again immediately after finishing it. I highly suggest this - it's a fun sneak peek into what it's like to work at SNL.

First time reader of Curtis Sittenfeld
I enjoyed the behind the scenes setting, for part of the book, at TNO(SNL). This book was both funny and cringy as this couple navigated the treacherous waters of an adult relationship. I also love it when an author includes female friendships. Thanks for a great read(listen) Ms. Sittenfeld

Touching and funny moments
To say at first I do love the idea of a NY comedy show as background that’s reminiscent of SNL but the references are a bit trite. I had never read the author prior and thought it was a man by the name - therefore felt the odd subject of a “less than attractive woman” and “hot celebrity male” was a bit misogynistic but upon realizing it was a female writer with the unfortunate name of Curtis I figured the subject to be more a personal psychological journey. It was an easy story and a good narrator. Passed the time quickly as is evocative of the title. No clue what the reviews about wokeness are about - ignore them.

Easy read
This was a cute, cheesy read that I found myself smiling at for some stupid reason. It was a nice change of pace and was light and fun. Sure the characters weren’t particularly interesting or original but I still enjoyed them and the course of the story.

Cute story
I actually enjoyed the political conversation in this book. It made the story very current and real for me. If you are super conservative you may want to pass on this one.

I wanted to like this. But the main character says she is a democrat and feminist but is so whiny and not sure of herself. She is annoying.

Rom Com with amusing amount of cynicism
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story. First of all; the narration is too notch. This is the first audiobook I’ve listened to narrated by Kristen Sieh and I would definitely listen to a book narrated by her again.
As for the story: other reviews call it too heavy on politics or boring. Personally, given the line of work of the main character it would have been weird NOT to mention the political attitude of the time including the digs at Trump and admiration for Clinton. That was very much the Zeitgeist feeling at SNL during that time. I’m terms of the pandemic in the second half of the book: the author used it effectively as the backdrop without making it the main thing. The main characters were more complex/cynical/flawed than your average glossy romcom characters. The banter was witty, style unique (second chapter is almost entirely email exchanges between the characters), and the meta layer of the cynical main character wanting to one day write a romcom and her life then essentially being one was enjoyable. This book was an enjoyable summer read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something light-hearted that is still based against the backdrop of real life.
