A review by bratatouille
Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
1.5
I do not enjoy pandemic books and wasn’t aware this was one when I began. I creator whose opinions I care about recommended this book and I may need to reassess her choices. The female lead goes on a plethora of personal tangents unrelated to anything critical. The love interests admit their love within two weeks at the big age of 38 years old. They also decide to live together in that time. Groundwork is laid for possible character growth but you never actually watch any significant developments happen. I’ll admit it’s a fun sought-after trope to have the celebrity you ogled after for a short time span email you years later during a particularly low point in their life! However, that should remain fan fiction trope! I was in no way convinced of the chemistry or compatibility of these two characters. At most, one of them has been to a lot of therapy and learned to communicate and the other is funny.
