An Appetite for: Books - Romantic Comedy

 

A deliciously funny and romantic summer read, enjoyed on audiobook. Sally, a writer at a late night show inspired by SNL, feels a romantic connection with host Noah Brewster, an uber-famous singer. I loved how the book was structured in 3 sections: 1.) a week in the life of the show, played out day by day, 2.) an epistolary interlude between the two main characters, and 3.) the steamy meet-up.

The crackling chemistry between Sally and Noah almost embarrassed me, like I shouldn’t be witnessing such intimacy. Reminded me of Before Sunrise, that Ethan Hawke film, where the main characters have so much chemistry and connection in how they speak and communicate.

Small quibble on the audiobook: I enjoyed it but had trouble distinguishing which of the characters was speaking at times.
