“A wedding planner dies and leaves the business to his wife—and his mistress. What could possibly go wrong? A charming rom-com to kick off your summer.”—People An Elin Hilderbrand Entertainment Weekly Summer Reading Pick “The book-equivalent of a perfect first date... Highly highly recommend.” —Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author “A heady kaleidoscope of romance, heartbreak, and healing that’s both rich in insight and enchantingly funny.” —Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author 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 that is “so much fun” (Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author).

"I felt like this one had a lot going on, there were too many stories to follow along with. It was a book version of those “all star” movies like Valentines Day and that holiday one. I liked each story but would have preferred a series with each couple featured vs one book trying to cram all the stories in."

"To start off, this book should have been split up into 4 books. There were way too many characters and story lines that I couldn’t keep track of what was going on. Also I felt that I didn’t know enough about the side characters stories to really become invested in their outcomes. I liked the main story about Liv and Savanna, and I think if it had just been that story it would have been better."

"I am a sucker for all novels described as ‘rom-com’. IT HAD TO BE YOU is a wonderful novel, with many stories following all kinds of couples, and wonderful characters, that I just couldn’t get enough of. IRL I am getting married this year, and rom coms are hitting me differently. I felt all the feels for this book a little extra maybe than most. <br/><br/>I love the ‘too good to be true’ aspect, because you know what? With love.. ANYTHING is possible! And sometimes, books like this is a mood. “This book is just what you need at a time like this” some might say!<br/><br/>This novel is so swoon worthy, I smiled when I heard that it was being compared to movies like Love Actually and Valentine’s Day because guess what… Those are among my favorite movies!!<br/><br/>If you’re a hopeless romantic like me, and enjoy your use of true love, and all of the ‘in betweens’ you’ll love this book. The cover is gorgeous, the writing makes it easy and effortless to connect with the characters and understand the story line, and at the end of it all.. I feel so invested in all the characters lives that I wish the novel went on and on and on..!"
