Romantic Comedy

Curtis Sittenfeld · 2023

A late-night sketch writer has a theory about why schlubby men date pop stars, then a pop star seems interested in her.

Sally writes for a live late-night sketch show and has built a whole comic theory around the fact that ordinary-looking male colleagues keep marrying pop stars while the reverse never happens. Then a famous musician hosts the show and appears to be interested in her. Sittenfeld splits the book across the pandemic, and the pleasure is in a heroine so busy being clever about attraction that she cannot accept being wanted.
