It Had to Be You by Georgia Clark

The author of the “emotional, hilarious, and thought-provoking” (People) novel The Bucket List returns with a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy featuring a wedding planner, her unexpected business partner, and their coworkers in a series of linked love stories—perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Casey McQuiston.

For the past twenty years, Liv and Eliot Goldenhorn have run In Love in New York, Brooklyn’s beloved wedding-planning business. When Eliot dies unexpectedly, he even more unexpectedly leaves half of the business to his younger, blonder girlfriend, Savannah. Liv and Savannah are not a match made in heaven, to say the least. But what starts as a personal and professional nightmare transforms into something even savvy, cynical Liv Goldenhorn couldn’t begin to imagine.

It Had to Be You cleverly unites Liv, Savannah, and couples as diverse and unique as New York City itself, in a joyous Love-Actually-style braided narrative. The result is a smart, modern love story that truly speaks to our times. Second chances, secret romance, and steamy soul mates are front and center in this sexy, tender, and utterly charming rom-com.

Reviews by the Wicked Reads Review Team

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is a very enjoyable book, packed full of romance and based around a group of people interconnected by a wedding planning business. It is moving, fun, silly, and definitely entertaining. It manages to be really easy reading and yet at the same time, as the car-crash scenarios build, it is one of those books where I had to stop reading for a few minutes to regroup and go in again and see just how bad it could be.

The author has a keen sense of observation, and whilst sometimes I felt the cues, or the clues, were broadcast a little loud, I was happy to be in on the story, and ready for what was coming next. It is an interesting take on the variety of modern life, and loves, and gives the reader plenty to think about as well as being satisfying escapism. As one might expect of a romance novel. things generally turn out well for our five sets of protagonists, although not always just as we might have expected.

I definitely recommend this to you as a fun read which starts in a most unexpected manner, and there is plenty of hope sprinkled through the pages.
