Funny You Should Ask
by Elissa Sussman
I really enjoyed Funny You Should Ask. Full of romantic banter, the magnetic draw between Chani and Gabe was palpable. The characters were highly likeable and well developed. The story was engaging and highly entertaining.
The couple first meet when Chani is interviewing Gabe for a celebrity profile. Gabe is a rising star who has just been chosen to play James Bond in a three picture deal. While Chani is nevertheless nervous to meet her heartthrob, the two develop a connection and end up spending the next 72 hours together.
Chani ends up writing the story of a lifetime - one that goes viral and is remembered for years to come. The insinuation that Gabe slept with her for a flattering profile is unjustified. While her career took off after this piece, it has also haunted her. Ten years later, the two meet again for a second interview leaving Chani wondering if the feelings she felt for Gabe were mutual and whether or not they would still be present.
The story is as sweet as it is steamy. The push and pull of the relationship is an ongoing theme. There are also some heavier topics such as alcoholism and homophobia which are written respectfully. I thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel and look forward to reading more from this author.
