  • “Smartly reported and full of thoughtful analyses of the complex collaboration behind the franchise...”

    —Emily Nussbaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning television critic and staff writer for The New Yorker

  • “A loving, deeply reported guide to the greatest cult show in television history.”

    —Andy Greene, Senior Writer for Rolling Stone and author of The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s

  • “From Hollywood With Love gives rom-coms the analysis and respect they finally deserve, especially since part of the snobbery around them is rooted in misogyny.”

    —Rachel Bloom, comedian, actress, writer and author of I Want To Be Where The Normal People Are

  • “The arguments and seemingly magical coincidences behind the scenes are as riveting as the hijinks onscreen.”

    —Amy Nicholson, film critic and co-host of the Unspooled podcast
