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. To put it bluntly, I freaking loved it and couldn't put it down.
Funny You Should Ask is the kind of fascinating, intimate character study that feels like reading about real people. A breezy, addictive romanceI couldn't put it down!
Elissa Sussman's adult debut promises a glamorous celeb romp, but offers a double-whammy with thoughtful, emotional depth. Jumping back and forth in time, the truth of what happened between Gabe and Chani unfolds and a romance bloomscautious, sweet, and sizzling with tension. A beautiful, fun, heartfelt love story that I couldn't put down.
FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK is a smart, sensitive story full of love and longing -- not to mention a totally swoonworthy hero. It's also a page-turning peek into the celebrity machine; framed by one infamous weekend and its fallout, the book goes beyond the glossy surface to thoughtfully tackle questions of perception versus reality, and which can hurt the most: the limitations other people place on us, or the ones we place on ourselves.
In her adult debut, Sussman creates a story that's thrilling wish fulfillment with a dash of wistful melancholy. The conversations between Chani and Gabe sparkle with all the charm of The Philadelphia Story, the movie the two of them initially bond over.From LA to New York to Gabe's cozy hometown in Montana, Gabe and Chani's love story is a delight to read. A slow burn romance full of passion, yearning, and behind-the-scenes Hollywood details.
Sussman's thoughtful adult debut explores the connection forged between an insecure Los Angeles writer and a charming movie star. A decade after Chani Horowitz's profile of Gabe Parker went viral, the two are reunited for another interview. Sussman's musings about fame, success, and the bonds between people elevate this fun and charming narrative. This has ALL THE MAKINGS OF A HIT.
Alternating between past and present, YA writer Sussman's first novel for adults slowly lays out the events of her characters' first meeting and how much has changed in the decade since. The result is a sexy, sometimes emotionally fraught tale that is both funny and romantic and that will appeal to fans of Sophie Kinsella.
