AshleyI am displeased with this self-insert SNL fanfiction. For being called “Romantic Comedy,” it really wasn’t very romantic or comedic. 🤪 I might have liked it if it was 30 pages instead of 300, but it had more filler than plot. Also, I have more chemistry with my bed than these two main characters. I’m not really sure who the target audience for this book was. It’s too dry to appeal to most romance readers, but doesn’t have enough meat on its bones for the litfic crowd. Mostly, it was kinda…boring. Also, so. much. telling. (Also, it’s 300 pages and THREE CHAPTERS — why??? It was like being trapped) <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookreview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookreview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookreviewer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookreviewer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancebook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romancebook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romance</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romcom?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romcom</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romanticcomedy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romanticcomedy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/curtissittenfeld?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#curtissittenfeld</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancereview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romancereview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancebookreview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#romancebookreview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/librarybook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#librarybook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/library?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#library</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookblog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookblog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookblogger?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookblogger</a>

Shannon KayI started reading Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, which is my April Book of the Month. I chose it in part because the Sally main character who's a comedy writer made me think of Sally from the Dick Van Dyke show. But 29 pages in, I'm not sure I like it. <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/BookOfTheMonthClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BookOfTheMonthClub</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/BookOfTheMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BookOfTheMonth</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/RomanticComedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RomanticComedy</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/CurtisSittenfeld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CurtisSittenfeld</a>
