“Absolutely perfect“
—Taffy Brodesser-Akner
For fans of Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, a hilarious, heartfelt novel about the healing power of female friendship, unexpected love, and stand-up comedy.
“Make room in your hearts for another wonderful romantic comedy. Humor Me is timely, moving, hopeful, and hilarious. You’re going to fall in love with these characters.”
—J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest
“I devoured Humor Me with the giddy devotion of watching an excellent comedy routine. The main character is my new best friend; her biting wit and endearing warmth linger long after the pitch perfect last page. A brilliant ode to NYC, stand up, and unlikely friendships—because sometimes the laughs that surprise us most ring the truest.”
—Avery Carpenter Forrey, author of Social Engagement
“In Humor Me, Shook has masterfully written an ode to our second-coming-of-ages, an honest yet hopeful look at the people and moments that shape us most, all while cementing herself as one of the best new voices of our generation.”
—Becky Chalsen, author of Kismet
“A love letter to friendship, comedy and New York City, Humor Me is an absolute romp of a read. Cat Shook’s sophomore novel is injected with all the hilarity and heart of her debut — once again tackling themes like grief and romance with warmth, wit and grace — this time set against the sparkling land of late night television.”
