I loved this book. It was so funny and the characters were really well developed. I loved getting a peek into the process behind what is clearly basically SNL, and didn't mind that it took some time for the romance to really get going. Once it did I found it very heartwarming.
There is a large portion of the book that takes place during COVID which I didn't mind for most of it because it was just kind of a background thing rather than rehashing trauma (can you really write a book that takes place in 2020 without acknowledging COVID?) but towards the end it got kind of sad and upsetting. I see how it functioned as a plot device but I'm not sure I'm ready to relive that part yet.
As a whole I really enjoyed this book and even shed a few tears at the end. Definitely a favorite of 2023 so far!
