About the book

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.

    Mal was anderes 🫶🏼

    Nobody interviewt Promi. Dinge passieren. Beide profitieren von besagtem Interview. 10 Jahre, in denen es kaum Kontakt gibt vergehenden. Agentin fragt selbe Journalistin für ein erneutes Interview an. Besagte Journalistin sagt zu, um endlich antworteten auf die Geschehnisse aus der Vergangenheit zu bekommen. Dinge passieren. Es gibt viele Antworten. Und ja ganz wichtig, der Typ hat einen Hund 🐶💘

    „Funny You Should Ask“ fühlt sich an wie dieses eine Interview, das komplett eskaliert – nur dass man es nicht mehr weglegen kann. Super witzig, ein bisschen chaotisch und genau die richtige Menge an Fremdscham. Hab beim Lesen mehr als einmal gedacht: Warum passiert sowas bitte immer den anderen – und warum will ich trotzdem genau das gleiche erleben? 😅 Absolute Empfehlung, wenn man Lust auf Humor, Herz und ein bisschen Drama hat.

Tatsächlich eine der realistischen Szenen die ich seit langem gelesen habe. Es fühlt sich an als habe ich selbst mal so einen Moment erlebt , es ist so natürlich und ich spüre jeden einzelnen Moment hautnah. Eine wunderbare Szene!
