the fake articles after every chapter was also irritating, but would have been less so if the significant plot points they addressed hadn't already been explained in the chapters. Gabe has potential to be lovable if he weren't quite so one dimensional. the fact that 'I said/he said' was written after EVERY SINGLE LINE OF DIALOGUE (with the occasional 'I asked' in the second half of the book) was infuriating! not every line even needs a dialogue tag, let alone the exact same one every time! Chani is one of the least likeable characters I've come across in a book, let alone as a love interest. The premise of this book sounded interesting but the execution was terrible (obviously that's just my opinion) despite the fact that Elissa Sussman has, apparently published other books in the past, this sounded like the first draft of a debut novel. she says yes.Īlternating between their first meeting and their reunion a decade later, this deliciously irresistible novel will have you hanging on until the last word. But the truth is that Chani wants to know if those seventy-two hours were as memorable to Gabe as they were to her. She wants to pretend that she’s forgotten about the time they spent together. So when his PR team requests that they reunite for a second interview, she wants to say no. Except that no matter what new essay collection or online editorial she’s promoting, someone always asks about The Profile. 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. 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. All Chani wants to do is keep her cool and nail the piece. Then she’s hired to write a profile of movie star Gabe Parker: her number one celebrity crush and the latest James Bond. While her former MFA classmates are nabbing high-profile book deals, all she does is churn out puff pieces. Twenty-something writer Chani Horowitz is stuck. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Cosmopolitan, NPR, The Washington Post, Book Riot 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 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.
