A CHARMING RIVALS-TO-LOVERS ROMCOM SET IN THE CHAOTIC WORLD OF COMEDY TV

Description

Nell's big dream is finally coming true.

After months of failing spectacularly to land a job, twenty-one-year-old Nell has snagged a highly-sought after internship writing for her favourite comedy sketch show Punching Up. Even better? Everyone knows there's a guaranteed job at the end if you prove yourself.

But the cutthroat world of television is no laughing matter, and Nell hasn't banked on there being another intern to compete against. Especially one like Charlie, who is infuriatingly good looking and a total nepo baby, gifted the opportunity by his chief executive father.

With the odds stacked against her, Nell vows to do everything she can to out-perform him. But as she gets to know Charlie, she discovers there's more to her workplace rival than meets the eye...

Full of big-hearted humour, The Funny Thing About Love is about going all out to achieve your dreams - and finding love along the way. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and The Ex Talk!
