I'd liken this to Funny You Should Ask, except with a lot more build up. Here we get a full on meet cute, epistolary romance, and adult conflict resolution. My HEART. Kristen Sieh has a phenomenal man voice and made me laugh so hard, some of my coworkers were concerned for my well-being. I loved the play on SNL, especially with the Pete Davidson parallels, but Sally and Noah were the big winners overall. I love a romance that builds, where the characters clearly communicate and have problems that a real human would have. The only downside is that it isn't *really* a romantic comedy? So the title's a bit deceiving.
