Now that I know this book was heavily *inspired* off of a GQ article (about Chris Evans) that the author fails to mention in her acknowledgements, I hate it all even more. If you don’t like books about “great writers” who when you read their “great writing” you’re like um no? Don’t read it. If you don’t like books with random “articles” and “interviews” thrown in between the actual plot. If you don’t like books with flashbacks that culminate to nothing. 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. 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.
