Praise for Totally & Completely Fine
“Fans of Sussman’s Funny You Should Ask (2022) will be happy to get another look at Gabe Parker, his love interest, Chani Horowitz, and the town of Cooper. Sussman alternates between Lauren’s present-day attraction to Ben and her relationship with Spencer, impressively balancing two love stories at once. Lauren and Ben are an easy couple to root for as they face realistic adult obstacles like family and career, with the added sparkle of Ben’s celebrity. A romance that balances the heaviness of grief with the excitement of new love.”
