Romantic Comedy

The latest captivating novel from Curtis Sittenfeld offers a refreshing exploration of modern romance and the complexities of dating today. According to Stylist, it's described as a "rollercoaster of modern love." One of Sittenfeld's long-time admirers, Pandora Sykes, praises the book as a "brilliantly written, funny page-turner" that invites multiple readings.

Centered around a TV scriptwriter who believes her romantic days are over, the story takes a surprising turn when she encounters an unexpected love interest. Known as a bestselling author on both the New York Times and Sunday Times lists, Sittenfeld delivers a humorous, intriguing, and heartfelt narrative.

Sally Milz, a successful writer for a renowned late-night comedy show, has been disillusioned by past heartbreaks and given up on love. Observing her friend's relationship with a stunning actress, Sally notes a pattern where ordinary men find themselves with extraordinary women—a dynamic she humorously critiques as a societal double standard.

The plot thickens when Sally meets Noah, a pop superstar known for his glamorous dating history. This challenging twist prompts the question of whether someone like Noah could truly be interested in someone like Sally. Moving beyond conventional romantic comedy tropes, the novel delves into the unpredictable nature of love.

"Romantic Comedy" dismantles preconceived notions about love, capturing Sittenfeld's trademark sharpness, boldness, and empathy. As highlighted by the Guardian, Sittenfeld stands out as a unique voice in the literary world, with The Times affirming her ability to engage readers in whatever she pens.
