Synopsis
Life is (not)* a Romantic Comedy...
With a series of heartbreaks under her belt, 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?

A Refreshing read.
A refreshing and genuine story, with relatable characters and a world that I was able to immerse myself in. A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Terrible book - didn’t finish it
This book in neither funny nor romantic. I gave up 50 pages towards the end. I wouldn’t recommend.
