No Funny Business by Amanda Aksel
4.0

This rom com is very heavy on the comedy - if you are looking for a book to make you laugh this summer, look no further than Amanda Aksel’s latest, No Funny Business.

In this book Olivia is a stand up comedian trying to make it in the industry. After losing her day job, she gets the opportunity to go on tour opening for comedian Nick Leto. This is her chance for a big break and she is determined to make it happen. What might complicate things though, is her attraction to Nick.

This was the type of book that I sat down to read and next thing I knew, I was 80% finished. This book had so many fun moments from I Wanna Dance With Somebody carpool karaoke (my all time favorite song!!) to intense discussions over the best fast food burgers. I loved Olivia as a main character and was rooting for her the whole time! I loved Nick and Olivia and how their relationship grew over time. I loved how they called themselves Jerry and Elaine in the beginning and all of the ridiculous situations they found themselves in (including an Elvis themed show). This book was just such a fun ride.

A huge thank you to Amanda Aksel and Berkley Publishing for the advance copy!
