Description

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.

    The overall premise of the novel was super cute and the characters were nothing short of swoon worthy. Dialogue seemed to be a main focus of the story - but sometimes, I felt as though the pacing was a little fast for my liking in the way that events would unfold or things would be developed. If you’re in the mood for a quick and light read though, you’re in for a treat!

    It’s a good story, but a too repetitive and over explained. I skipped a lot of pages of recalled monologued moments just to get back to the story. The cover is cute though (saw a snippet of the book on a tiktok a came over immediately to get it. Not worth the $9,99. Def a $3,99 book at most)

    I read over 200 books a year and this one…. Made me feel more of something than any other book I have read in the last 3 years. This book causes you to feel something so physical within your chest on every page. I am devastated that I will never be able to experience my first time with this book again but grateful to read it again and again.
