Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Funny You Should Ask

Given the opportunity to interview celebrity, Gabe Parker, who is poised for a comeback, writer Chani Horowitz is having second thoughts. Her first interview with him, ten years prior, helped to launch her career, but not for all the right reasons. Told in alternating chapters of Then and Now, interspersed with Chani's blog posts and articles, as well as other reviews, this was a fun story of can a regular girl get the celebrity? At times, Chani is so self-deprecating that the reader is left agreeing with her, why would the celebrity be interested in her? When they're together, they have great chemistry, though, and at least the ending of this very slow burn finally answers some of those questions.

Easily the most unique styled book I’ve read. Loved how it was told and the turns it took through time and this relationship. Super cute read!

I read this book in one day. It’s an easy and lighthearted romance that has potential but wasn’t my favorite. The main characters, a journalist and an actor, spend a weekend together as she interviews him for a magazine profile. A decade later they are reunited for the same purpose and must address some unresolved tensions in their relationship.

While I do recognize that one must set aside certain realistic expectations in order to accept that a movie star would fall in love with his interviewer, I cannot accept that the entire romance could happen within 72 hours. I also cannot accept that the two main characters would harbor such intense feelings for one another for an entire decade before trying to reconnect! I found the shortness of the time frame to be too limiting for the story and I wish that the author had given us more of a backstory in order to build up the narrative. I did enjoy the way that the book switched between time frames and created a parallel between the past and present.

There are better romances out there, but if you like second chance romance or if you’re looking for a quick and easy read, this would be a good option.
