At the end of the day, I don't think I like SNL enough to enjoy this.
Beyond that, I did not like Sally, and I felt like the writing of this book was incredibly stilted, especially the conversation aspects. The best writing was in the emails, but the rest of it did not sound like real people talking.
I also was just not personally ready for the COVID aspects; I don't yet want that reminder in books. The epilogue also read so weird it pulled me out of the story a lot.
