Romantic Comedy
by Curtis Sittenfeld· 2023
Set in the world of a live TV comedy show, a script writer who has given up on romance finds her world upended by an unexpected encounter. With a series of heartbreaks under her belt, Sally Milz - a TV script writer for a 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 to date 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? Romantic Comedy is a tale of how the heart will follow itself, no matter what anyone says.
