Holly, an attractive, intelligent, and divorced 50-year-old businesswoman, becomes instantly smitten with Josh and even finds his unconventional looks wildly sexy. ..". disappointment, failure, and shame ... but also faith, courage, hope, and triumph ...

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review. I liked the premise of this book. Unfortunately I found Josh and Holly one-dimensional and uninteresting. In addition, Josh was so pathetic. I didn't side with him or find him endearing. Just annoying. ( )

Being a funny man isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Balding, pudgy, and massively insecure, Josh Steinberg is a struggling comic actor whose greatest career success is far behind him. He’s lonely and physically exhausted, while his romantic history-the subject of many of his jokes- is an emotional train wreck. With his TV career in tatters, he makes his living performing at second-rate comedy clubs, where a chance encounter one night with a female fan leads to unexpected consequences.
Holly Brannigan is a successful businesswoman in her 50s whose personal life has hit the skids. When she meets Josh, she thinks he’s a big, sexy teddy bear, but wonders why he’d want to date a “boring” middle-aged woman like herself. For his part, Josh can’t imagine why Holly finds him attractive. Will these two get past their insecurities long enough to forge a lasting relationship?
Author Kathleen Jones successfully brings readers into the gritty, often brutal worlds of stand-up comedy and the Hollywood film industry, where talent means little unless it is combined with youth and beauty, and where love is often an illusion.

"I would love you even if you never told another joke.”

“If I were a woman, I wouldn’t date me.”
“I only make fun of women I care about.”
“I know you’re old, Mom, but why settle for a fat guy like him?”
“What exactly do you see in me, Holly? Do you go for the male pattern baldness, the big nose, the big belly?” And she said to me, “I love the big brain, the big heart, and those big, kind brown eyes of yours.”
