![]() ![]() ![]() I’m not saying celebs can’t fall in love with “normal” people, they can, I just don’t think it would be possible under these circumstances. Conversely, I don’t find it believable at all that this big star could fall in love with her in that time frame while barely knowing anything about her at all. A breezy, addictive romanceI couldn’t put it downRachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk Funny You Should Ask is a smart, sensitive story full of love and longingnot to mention a totally swoonworthy hero. I find it incredibly hard to believe that Chani could fall in love with the real Gabe – not the one she’s built up in her head thanks to her crush – in three days. Funny You Should Ask is the kind of fascinating, intimate character study that feels like reading about real people. They spent a collective three days together, ~something happened~, and then they never spoke again. Chani hangs onto her fantasy and celeb crush on Gabe, to the point where I feel she’s being delusional about how she feels and how she thinks Gabe feels about her. However, for Funny You Should Ask, it is not. I feel like that’s silly to say given the genre but a lot of contemporary romance novels have a level of believability – where under the perfect storm of certain circumstances, the story could happen in real life. I’ll be honest here and say that this premise is quite possibly one of the most unrealistic ones I’ve read. ![]()
