Sip Story: “Romantic Comedy” x Mocktail Paloma
🎬 ROMANTIC COMEDY by Curtis Sittenfeld 🎬
★★★★☆
📖 About: A comedy writer thinks she’s sworn off love, until a dreamily handsome pop star flips the script on all her assumptions.
🍾 Drink Pairing: Pairing "Romantic Comedy" with a Paloma mocktail just felt right - hello, it’s pink and fizzy and a little sour 🤷
🌟 Review: Curtis Sittenfeld delivers yet another story that perfectly explores love and self-discovery (for all you other “Prep” fans out there - this is for you!).
What I really loved about this story is that Sally felt so authentic, and I loved her voice. I appreciated her inner monologue, and the insecurities that she had - because I think most of us can definitely relate. There was also always a perfect balance between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry.
It’s really about so much more than just the love story, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while reading. It made it feel like real life can be just as romantic than the scripted stories we see on screen, or read in our books. I would definitely say this is a great read for anyone who appreciates a good trope/gender reversal - and loves SNL.
