Selected as one of the Best Comedy Books of 2020 by Vulture! Get ready to relax with your favorite romantic comedy of all time--the one you create! Instead of turning on the latest cheesy rom-com for a simple, mood-boosting love story, put yourself in the director's chair with Build Your Own Romantic Comedy. First, open the book and pick your heroine. Will she be a high-powered business lady with no time for love? Or a quirky bakery owner? Just make your choice and read how the magic unfolds. When it's time to meet your man, do you prefer a hunky prince, a hunky executive, or a hunky nemesis? Each choice will take you down a totally different path that all somehow end up making a charmingly predictable romance. Choice by hilarious choice, you'll pick from classic rom-com elements like: - Sassy best friends
- Romantic date montages
- A makeover, obviously
- Dramatic but easily solved misunderstandings
Make your way closer and closer to the big payoff--the picture-perfect, most romantic final kiss ever. And when you've savored that last bit of fun, romantic goodness, don't be glum. Turn back to page one and start a new love story. With over 100 possible stories, the happily-ever-afters never have to stop.

Reviews
"Are you the next Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers? If you've ever dreamed of writing a romantic comedy that stands the test of time, Lana Schwartz provides inspiration to create your own happily ever after, in a variety of different ways. With warmth, wit and surprises, Schwartz's gift for storytelling shines through in every twist and turn of her love letter to a beloved genre. Saint Nora would approve." --Erin Carlson "author, I'll Have What She's Having: How Nora Ephron's Three Iconic Films Saved the Romantic Comedy"
"As someone who has seen nearly every rom com ever produced and has had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that Hugh Grant made a finite number of movies in the '90s, I so appreciate that Lana Schwartz has written this charming, funny book which allows you to create as many new rom coms as your heart desires." --Blythe Roberson "author of How to Date Men When You Hate Men"
