"I was always going to have big feelings, and it was going to be up to me to make sure they were worth it. She told me I was going to have to learn to wear those feelings proudly, without doing damage to the things or people i love, that i'd only hurt myself in the process if i did."
This book was so beautiful and funny at the same time! The story follows Farley Jones, a stand-up comedian on her way to fame. Her self-deprecating humor has garnered the attention of many people, including her hot older manager Meyer. Meyer also used to be a comedian, but becoming a single dad to his daughter shook his whole world. Then he decided to manage Farley. However, when an opportunity that Farley never expected causes them to fake date, Meyer and her must come face to face with the fizzy, funny feelings they have for each other.
"i know that i now believe that rainstorms always precede something amazing, because you came into our lives on the tail end of one."
I loved this book so much!! The comedy aspect was actually funny, which typically doesn't seem to be the case when books focus on comedy. I laughed out loud multiple times, and I also teared up and cried a few times as well. The relationship was so well fleshed out, and the flashback timeline seemed purposeful to the story. I loved the scenes of Farley with Meyer's daughter, and the deaf community representation.
"he's not my rock, he's my hammock. he holds and cocoons me in the shade on a summer day."
