I really liked this book, especially the small town aspects in parts of it. the banter was some of the best I've ever read and the dog was my favorite. However, the pacing was a bit off.

On paper, Funny You Should Ask had the potential for a great story with some of my favorite tropes. In reality, I felt like Elissa kept telling us things about the characters rather than ever letting the characters show the reader their qualities and emotions. I've been thinking all day about why I didn't enjoy this book and the best way I could describe it succinctly is that it felt like it was missing a first act and also chunks of the plot.

I like the style but it just didn't hit right with this particular plot. It was too long for how little happened.
