Surely she’s too much of a hot mess to have made it this far by herself. She’s just getting her big break, and Farley believes a lot of her success can be attributed to her manager, Meyer (35). The story follows Farley (25), a standup comedian on the rise. The combination made for an authentic, memorable read. And for a book about comedy, it’s actually much more emotional and bittersweet than anticipated. They truly do want what’s best for each other, so it made sense that they’ve never crossed the line. It’s not a particularly long book, but I felt like I got to know these characters so well, and it was easy to feel the love and support in every scene. Told in a combination of flashbacks and present day, we get a feel for this couple’s relationship as it evolves from strangers to friends to comedienne/manager to lovers – with all of the longing and missed opportunities along the way. I loved the pining, the completely unique feel, and I loved the cinnamon roll hero who is kind, compassionate, and understanding. My love for this heartfelt, swoony read began right away, and it just got stronger and stronger as the book progressed. I love it when I try a new-to-me author and I know immediately that I’m in for an excellent read.
