Mr. Paper Bag is in Love

Mr. Paper Bag is in Love is a gently absurd, funny romcom with a premise that is hard to forget. A quiet college student lives his life with a paper bag on his head, which makes people look at him strangely on campus. He is extremely timid, but he abruptly confesses his love to a classmate and pushes forward with determination. The girl he confesses to is surprised, and an unexpected turn of events follows. The comedy is awkward and warm, and the absurd premise gives it a fresh energy. The chapters are quick and easy to enjoy. The honest cons: the premise can feel thin across a longer run, and some slapstick repeats its beats. The romance develops in familiar steps. Still, it is a sweet, playful read for fans of awkward romcoms. If you enjoy comedy built on quirky first impressions, this is a good pick.
