I normally adore Alice Hoffmans books but this one was very dark. I loved the first 75%, but the last bit was too much for me. 

I loved and hated this book because it was so real. The fear of growing apart and changing in the relationships of this novel heavily remind me of my own life. It made me laugh, it made me cry, I adored it. 

Funny You Should Ask is such a humorous and light-hearted romance. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. My only critique is that Chani and Gabe spent less than a week together and somehow were still in love with each other ten years later. However, this is a romance novel so of course love is heightened and exaggerated. I still adored their whole romance and the genuine connection they shared. 

3.25/5 

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. 

Gemma is not a likeable heroine. She is shallow and vapid. It makes it so difficult to be compassionate towards her and everything she goes through.

There was not one moment in this book where I trusted Talan. Even once we knew the truth of his past, I still was wary of him.

The romance between Gemma and Talan seemed flat. It was completely based on physical attraction instead of any deeper connection. 
I really wanted to like this book. The plot was interesting and the writing was beautiful but the characters just didn't hold up. The book was also entirely longer than it needed to be.
