What this book is about

Sally Milz is a writer on a late-night sketch comedy show who has a firm policy: never date male celebrity guests who fall for female staffers, because it never works the other way around. Then pop superstar Noah Brewster arrives and breaks every pattern she predicted. When COVID lockdown separates them, they keep falling in love over email. A witty, warm novel about cynicism, stardom, and being surprised by yourself.
