About the book:

In Romantic Comedy, Sally Milz is a sketch writer for a live comedy show that airs each Saturday night. When Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show, Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch called “The Danny Horst Rule,” poking fun at the phenomenon of men dating women out of their league. Enter this week’s musical guest, Noah Brewster, a pop music sensation with a reputation for dating models. Sally hits it off with Noah instantly, and sparks seem to be flying. But the Danny Horst rule only works one way, and this isn’t a romantic comedy—it’s real life…right?
