Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Curtis Sittenfeld - 4.5 stars!
Sally is a writer on The Night Owls (basically Saturday Night Live) and has given up on love, settling for a friends with benefits arrangement and spending time with her stepdad, Jerry, and his dog. Enter Noah, who is appearing on TNO as both the musical guest and host. Sally and Noah spend time together working on skits and seem to have chemistry, until Sally blows it at the after-party. Fast forward 2 years to Covid lockdown, and the two start an email relationship.
While I was a fan of Saturday Night Live forever ago and enjoyed getting basically a behind-the-scenes look at preparing the show during the first part of this book, what I really enjoyed where the chapters afterwards. The email exchanges were great, and I loved the rest of the book. There is an interesting theme of men being able to date women out of their league, but it doesn't typically work the same way for women. Very entertaining read!
