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.

The this is the mess she’s made on the floor, which he’s now mopping up with his T-shirt. The her in question is his ten-week-old black rescue mutt. Do you mind holding her for a moment while I deal with this?” Gabe Parker is shoeless, shirtless, and holding a puppy. I could try to sell you on the merits of Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman, but it would be just as effective to share the opening passage and let you decide if you can resist.
