Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

It’s been a while since I read a romance, and this was a great way to return to the genre. Chloe Brown has a near death experience that leads her to re-evaluating her life. She thinks she’s boring, so she comes up with a list of things that she thinks will help make her braver and more interesting. This process starts with her moving out of her parents’ house and into an apartment, where she meets Red Morgan, the superintendent. Red is an artist who’s […]

The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert

Not my fave of hers but still cute. Having a little trouble coming up with anything to say because this is so solidly in the ‘just fine’ category in my mind, which is unusual for a Talia Hibbert. Usually if nothing else, her narrative voice pulls me through and gives the book a boost. This book follows Cherry and Ruben. Cherry is working for a corporate academy school, and Ruben is a prince of a made up country I can’t remember the name of. He […]

A little SNL escapist romance

Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld

by 2 Comments

I’ve read Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld, which I enjoyed. So when I began seeing Romantic Comedy (2023) around, I figured I’d like that one as well. Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls [basically, SNL]. She’s been working at the show for nine years and loves the frantic energy of it all. After an early failed marriage and an unrequited crush on another SNL writer, she’s dedicated to staying single. But Sally has noticed how many of the male writers on the show have ended up dating some […]
