Comedic Timing is the next installment in 831 Stories' series of romance novellas. We follow Naina Rao who has just moved to NYC after breaking up with her long term girlfriend, Sofia, back in Chicago. However, her perception of herself gets turned on its head when she meets David, an aspiring filmmaker, and they strike up a friendship trying to encourage either to do more writing. 

I did not enjoy this novella as much as I have others from 831 Stories, I had trouble with Naina and her insecurities that seemed to dominate a lot of the novella where we're in her head. I also felt like the pacing was a bit off in the book with how Naina and David's relationship unfolded, specifically toward the end when Naina starts really being mean to David. There felt like a lot of comparison of the "wrongs" that Naina and David had perpetrated when they really weren't equivalent. That being said, the smut in this book was fantastic and it's a really quick read. 

Thank you very much to 831 Stories and NetGalley for the advanced copy.
