32 Days in May

Betty Corrello is a writer, comedian, and proud Philadelphian. Her first novel was Summertime Punchline. Despite her hardened exterior, she is biologically 95% marshmallow. Her greatest passion is writing stories where opposites attract, but love is chosen. When she’s not writing, she can be found fretting about niche historical events most have forgotten­­––or petting her very tiny dog.

“I'm in love with Corrello's voice. Vivid, fresh, and wholly singular, hers is a voice that's been missing from the romcom pantheon. Wonderfully real characters, unexpected heart-twists, and knee-buckling humor makes Summertime Punchline a surprising stand-out. What a delight. Please welcome to the stage... Betty Corrello!” — Julia Whelan, author of Thank You for Listening“Fun and fresh...Wry observational humor and a dose of romance strike a good balance with some tough family dynamics.” — Kirkus Reviews on Summertime Punchline"This is a hilarious and sweeping love story about a comedian forced to return to her Jersey Shore hometown and confront everything she left behind ten summers before. A plucky heroine remaking herself. A beach setting. The meaning of home. Humor. Romance. This one ticks all the boxes.” — Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author, on Summertime Punchline“This novel will provide the LOLs and feels for you this summer.” — Cosmopolitan on Summertime Punchline“Sharp, wildly funny, hopeful, and incredibly sexy. Betty Corrello writes my favorite kind of love story.” — Tarah DeWitt, bestselling author of Savor It“32 Days in May manages to be laugh-out-loud funny, deeply sexy and heartbreakingly real. This is the EGOT of books! It’s a total knock-out, both as a thoughtful exploration of living with chronic illness and an intimate romance between two people who believe themselves to be broken. It cemented Betty Corrello as one of my all-time favorite authors.” — Lex Croucher, New York Times bestselling author"[A] deeply emotional tour de force...Readers with chronic illnesses will feel especially seen—and anyone who values resilient heroines is sure to root for Nadia." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Betty Corrello flawlessly weaves the struggles of chronic illness with the magic of falling in love in her absolute terrific and captivating sophomore novel. Corrello’s combination of charm, wit, and vulnerability is truly unmatched.”  — B.K. Borison, author of Lovelight Farms“32 Days in May is raw, heartwarming and beautiful. Betty Corrello tells us a deep story about having the courage to let someone you love know you completely. I adored witnessing Nadia and Marco fall in love and fight for that love when life tested it. The representation in this book makes for what could be a timeless romance.” — Riss M. Neilson, author of A Love Like the Sun“Betty is the rare romance author whose novels feel both relatable and escapist, smart and sexy. Her sharp, funny heroines are women we all know, or maybe are ourselves, and their love stories provide the catharsis of a real-life romance with the bingeability of a fantasy. Everything she writes is a must-read.” — Chelsea Fagan, author of A Perfect Vintage and founder of The Financial Diet"Marked by Betty Corrello's incisive prose and incisive wit, 32 Day in May is a refreshingly raw, honest and nuanced exploration of self-rediscovery and love in the face of chronic illness – that is sexy, funny, messy, and heartfelt to boot. You need this on your shelves and in your heart.” — Shirlene Obuobi, author of Between Friends and Lovers“A vibrant sunbeam of a book—I simply inhaled it. Betty Corrello’s writing is both achingly vulnerable and wildly funny. The ideal summertime (or anytime) read, guaranteed to make you crave both a funnel cake and a cute single dad.” — Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Business or Pleasure, on Summertime Punchline“Betty Corrello makes me laugh and ache and sweat in the span of a few sentences. Her work is the very best escapism; it hurts so badly before it shines so brightly and it convinces me that I, too, might end up okay.” — Rachel Katz, author of Whenever You're Ready"With a dazzling combination of wit and heart, 32 Days in May had me laughing out loud one minute and crying the next. Corrello's characters are relatable and real, and her voice is sharp and unique. Corrello is a writer to watch!" — Falon Ballard, author of Right on Cue
