Hi there! I’m looking to publish a novel soon, and my editor told me I need some different comp books (books I will tell an agent or publisher that my book is similar to). My book is a romantic comedy that has a pg-13 spice level, takes place in Texas, has a lot of scenes in a restaurant (duh- it’s a book about dating!), and includes a female main character who is very uptight and learns to relax as part of her character arc. My editor suggested I find comp novels written in the last 5-10 years that are not written by a big name like Ali Hazelwood or Emily Henry. My book is heavy on the comedy, and though it centers around romance, it is more about personal growth and choices. If you can think of a funny romance book that you enjoyed that fits any of those criteria, let me know!
