"Thank you to NetGalley and Putnam for the ARC of *Is She Really Going Out With Him* by Sophie Cousens! This was a 4.5-star read for me, and I absolutely loved it. The characters felt incredibly real, with chemistry that leapt off the page, making it so easy to imagine this story adapted into a super cute movie. The dynamic between Anna and her kids was heartwarming and authentic, and the interactions between Anna and her ex-husband captured a rawness and humor that's hard to find in books about divorce and co-parenting. <br/><br/>Of course, in real life, navigating co-parenting or moving on after divorce is rarely so smooth, and it’s not without challenges. But I appreciated how Cousens highlighted that, even when things get tough, humor and goodwill can make all the difference. <br/><br/>And don’t even get me started on the chemistry between Anna and Will. Off the charts! <br/><br/>This book left me with such a feel-good vibe, and as a fan of Cousens’ previous works, I’ll keep reading whatever she writes."
