“Dialogue zips and zings as hearts plummet and soar… Sittenfeld’s meta-romance is an utterly perfect version of itself, a self-aware and pandemic-informed love story that’s no less romantic for being either. Sittenfeld’s fiction has flown off shelves since her debut, Prep, and fans will flock to this pure-fun, feminist romp.”
—BOOKLIST, STARRED review
“[Romantic Comedy] is a serious novel about feminism, sexism and American popular culture. But it’s also a delicious, funny romance that earns its star-spangled, candy-pink cover.”
—MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE
“If you’re in need of [a] smart, sophisticated, and fun diversion right now (and who isn’t), [ROMANTIC COMEDY] is your book. Like her literary foremother Jane Austen, Sittenfeld brings together exquisitely sharp dialogue that fizzes, excruciating sexual tension, and incisive social observation.”
