really funny, really quick (for the first 2 chapters) read. authors style feels very approachable, but not at all plain. reading this made me feel an affection toward SNL that I'd frankly never imagined feeling, but it was nice!

I've been a fan of Curtis Sittenfeld for many years, and her new book does not disappoint. I had no doubt she could pull off a romance (and yes, this IS a genre romance) and she does so brilliantly. I looooved the first part of the book, which is an almost minute-by-minute breakdown of a week in the production of the SNL-like show the protagonist, Sally, works for. But the book really comes into its own in the second section, which is an epistolary email exchange between Sally and her love interest, Noah. SWOON. One of the best representations of two people falling in love. Sittenfeld really gets to the heart of why and how people fall in love, and how we can stand in our own way when we do.
