Romantic Comedy
Sittenfeld, Curtis
 
Life is (not)* a Romantic Comedy...
 
After a series of heartbreaks, Sally Milz - successful script writer for a legendary late-night TV comedy show - has long abandoned the search for love.
 
But when her friend and fellow writer begins to date a glamorous actress, he joins the growing club of interesting but average-looking men who get romantically involved with accomplished, beautiful women.
 
Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch, poking fun at this 'social rule'. The reverse never happens for a woman.
 
Then Sally meets Noah, a pop idol with a reputation for dating models. But this isn't a romantic comedy - it's real life.
 
Would someone like him ever date someone like her?
 
Skewering all our certainties about why we fall in love, ROMANTIC COMEDY is a witty and probing tale of how the heart will follow itself, no matter what anyone says. It is Curtis Sittenfeld at her most sharp, daring and compassionate best.
