A laugh out loud send-up of reality TV dating from podcaster and comedian Adrienne Gunn.

A hilarious romance exploring the ways in which pop culture influences every aspect of life. Gunn’s ample wit elevates this wildly entertaining rom-com, it’s a delight.

hi, i’m adrienne!

And I take pop culture way too seriously. I wrote a novel called FAN FAVORITE because I wanted to see what would happen if a regular gal who eats carbs and wears Birkenstocks went on a reality TV dating show and had to sit in a hot tub with a bunch of Instagram models (preorder available now, in stores 6/24/25). Now I’m writing a romcom about a washed up pop star who goes on a Y2K reunion tour to win the heart of the boy bander of her dreams (Grand Central Publishing, Summer 2026). I write about pop culture on my Substack WHERE THE F*CK’S MY HAPPY ENDING?! and complain about how pop culture ruined my life on my podcast DON’T RUIN THIS FOR ME. On Wednesdays I watch Survivor. I believe RHOSLC is the best Housewives franchise. I’m obsessed with oil cleanser, Veep, and my dog, Georgia. Wanna work with me? I’m repped by Marcy Posner at Folio Lit.
