Book Review: ‘Funny You Should Ask: A Novel’ By Elissa Sussman

Ten years ago writer Chani Horowitz did an interview with rising movie star Gabe Parker, who was tapped to be the next James Bond. The interview went viral and rumors spread about the two of them. Now ten years later, both were married and divorced, Gabe lost the Bond role and went into rehab two years ago. In an effort to re-create the magic of the first interview, the two are getting together again for another interview. Was there a spark ten years ago and how will things be this time between them. Chani doesn’t want to do this but she does want to do this. As the two of them reunite it will mean having to sort out their feelings from that weekend all those years ago. A really well-written look at two people with issues that became something to each other. It’s written with the then and now format and we follow along in real time in the past and present. You really root for these two people to figure out what they mean to each other.
