Since Romantic Comedy is broken into three different sections, I'm going to share my opinions on each section 👇🏞

Part 1: ☆☆☆
This section was exhausting to read. At first, I was wholly invested in the story and loved learning what was going on and the inside scoop into what I imagine it's like to be on SNL. But, about 25% into this section, I lost all interest. I grew tired of hearing the repetitive nature of the characters' lives and just how poorly they treated themselves.

Part 2: ☆☆☆☆☆
Absolutely the BEST! I didn't want the section to end. It was fun, sweet and took me right back to the first stages of getting to know someone. The email chain between Sally and Noah showed such pure character development, allowing me to fall in love with Noah's character. His honest and sincere nature felt genuine throughout the book, but there was something about this section that I adored.

Part 3: ☆☆☆☆
The first 50% of this section drug on for me and *shocking* included the miscommunication trope ðŸĪŠ But, by the end of the section, I was enjoying Sally and Noah, their growth individually and as a couple. It gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings I hoped the book would end with.

I can't say that Romantic Comedy was the book for me, but it was entertaining. I recommend reading this if you enjoyed 30 Rock and You've Got Mail.
