![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sussman uses an epistolary style to expand the scope of the story and provide a wider view of the narrative, interspersing the story with articles from other writers set in the same world. What follows is a weekend full of celebrity hijinks, instant connections and an article that leaves one big question: what really happened between Chani and Gabe during their wild adventures? The novel uses a dual timeline to tell the story of Chani Horowitz, a struggling writer with contempt for New York, and Gabe Parker, an up-and-coming actor in need of good press. Before becoming an author, Sussman worked in the entertainment industry as a manager and is featured in the credits of movies such as “Princess and the Frog” and “Tangled.” This experience appears to have influenced her writing, as “Funny You Should Ask” dives headfirst into Hollywood politics and gender roles in pop culture. ![]() Published on April 12, 2022, “Funny You Should Ask” is Sussman’s fourth novel and debut in the world of adult literature. While falling into the traditional rom-com pitfalls, there is still Hollywood-esque entertainment to be found throughout. That is exactly what happens to the witty protagonist in The Seahawk’s November book club pick, “Funny You Should Ask.” If you are a fan of BookTok rom-com novels, “Funny You Should Ask” is for you. Imagine spending a fun-filled weekend with your celebrity crush. ![]()
