NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A restless young journalist with big dreams interviews a Hollywood heartthrob—and reunites with him ten years later to discover exactly how he feels about her in this sexy and engrossing novel

“You will absolutely devour this book. It’s filled with delightful banter, hot romance, and a love story that’s worthy of the big screen.”—Kate Spencer, author of In a New York Minute and host of Forever35

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Cosmopolitan, NPR, The Washington Post, Book Riot

Then. Twenty-something writer Chani Horowitz is stuck. While her former MFA classmates are nabbing high-profile book deals, all she does is churn out puff pieces. Then she’s hired to write a profile of movie star Gabe Parker: her number one celebrity crush and the latest James Bond. All Chani wants to do is keep her cool and nail the piece. But what comes next proves to be life changing in ways she never saw coming, as the interview turns into a whirlwind weekend that has the tabloids buzzing—and Chani getting closer to Gabe than she had planned. 
 
Now. Ten years later, after a brutal divorce and a healthy dose of therapy, Chani is back in Los Angeles as a successful writer with the career of her dreams. Except that no matter what new essay collection or online editorial she’s promoting, someone always asks about The Profile. It always comes back to Gabe. So when his PR team requests that they reunite for a second interview, she wants to say no. She wants to pretend that she’s forgotten about the time they spent together. But the truth is that Chani wants to know if those seventy-two hours were as memorable to Gabe as they were to her. And so . . . she says yes.

Alternating between their first meeting and their reunion a decade later, this deliciously irresistible novel will have you hanging on until the last word.

Sylvie Alma ,

Elissa Sussman added to my Must Read List!

Once in a while I read a book by an author new to me and can’t help this feeling of excitement and delight as I make my way through it, all the while hoping it doesn’t suddenly start to seriously disappoint. Made it to the end and « FunnyYou Should Ask » definitely did not disappoint! I’m terrible at articulating why a book delights me unless I let it percolate for a while and then, when I try to write a review, it invariably comes off stiff and scholarly. So this time, I’m impulsively jotting down something just as I finish it.

So in very simple terms, from my perspective, why I loved this book:
1. A unique fresh voice
2. Engaging complex characters
3. A compelling ‘slow burn’ narrative that pulled me in emotionally and did not feel overly contrived
4. Well written with good use of language.
5. You wish it hadn’t ended quite yet and plan to look for her next published novel!
6. Know you’ll be re-reading it some time in the future!
