Personally, I had really high expectations for this book. I wish I went into reading it with less hype from friends. It was hard for it to live up to the chatter. With that said it was an enjoyable read. I felt the story lingered way too long on the TNO (aka SNL) details. I felt myself needing to push through that part of the story to get to the “romantic comedy” portion. I found both characters a bit surface level. I wish the book has spent more time on developing depth to them and less on skits for the SNL knock off. I would recommend reading it but I will not over hype it so hopefully others will enjoy it more than I did.
