Also, this was my first commit to a pandemic plot line and I found it was, for me, the right tone AND mood.

I admit I am a sucker for celeb romances, and I found this one to be particularly charming and unique. I am also a sucker for books that feature alternative forms of communication (emails, texts, etc.), so I found part two of the book to be so refreshing and fun. The themes of imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and insecurity, both on a personal and professional level, really hit home with me, and I could not put this book down.
I also appreciated the lack of a third-act breakup, in place of a real couple facing a real issue and needing to take the time to learn from each other, communicate, and grow together.
I remember reading (and loving) Prep as a wee freshman in high school and I am delighted that Curtis continues to be an exceptional writer with incredible stories to tell.

With a gender-swapped Notting Hill trope, a bit of writer's life catnip, and a touch of A-list celebrity fan fiction feel, Romantic Comedy is perfect for fans of Nora Goes Off Script, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Emily Henry, and Olivia Dade.
