Good Material: A Novel by Dolly Alderton
A mediocre comedian broke up with his girlfriend. He struggles with his life. He still has mutual friends with her. Just when things can't get worse, a scathing review of his performance appears online. Eventually, he uses the breakup as a way of reinvigorating his comedy career. At the end we learn of her side. She also brings up that she is looking for somebody that has the 10% that he lacked, but then realizing the other 90% is missing. I got lost a bit at the start, but book flowed nicely after I got a grasp of what was going on. The change of perspective at the end was a nice touch.
