Comedy is Easy, Love is Hard
(2023)(A book in the I Love LA Romantic Comedies series)
A novel by Riley E Smith
A "friendly" wager between two Hollywood professionals gets complicated in this romcom novella of worlds colliding.
Drama...
Mina is a serious actress with big goals. On the outside, she's a badass go-getter, focused on ambition, but her friends would tell you she's loyal to a fault. On the inside, she's still that little girl who would stare up at the silver screen with stars in her eyes and imagine her own name in lights.
But lately, the dreams that have sustained her for so long are going sour. When her agent threatens to drop her for not accepting unserious parts, she knows she needs to switch things up. But she doesn't know how to get out of her rut.
... meets comedy!
Nate, who looks like a dream leading man, from his chiseled jaw to his kind eyes, and especially his cocky, sideways grin. There's only one problem, and it's a big one: he's a comedian. He's a master partier, quick-witted, but his career has stalled out, just like Mina's.
Mina has no respect for comedy, and Nate thinks she takes herself way too seriously. After a heated debate about the merits of drama versus comedy, they decide on a little wager: they'll each try to get a role in the other's area of expertise. Nate will try to get a dramatic gig, and Mina will go for comedic roles.
They're both confident it will be easy. After all, isn't comedy just throwing pies and being dumb? And as for drama, even an onion can make someone cry.
But as they express their passion for their respective arts, and reconnect to their dreams, they also find themselves opening up to each other. Mina's never laughed so much, and Nate's ready to get serious... about his career, of course!
When their playful bet lands them both the role of a lifetime, will they be able to keep an open mind and open their heart? Or will love prove the hardest role of all?
