It Had to Be You | 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 Jasmine Guillory. For the past twenty years, Liv and Eliot Goldenhorn have run In Love In New York, Brooklyn's top wedding planning business. That is, until Eliot dies while visiting his younger, blonder girlfriend, Savannah Shipley, an events intern from Kentucky. In a twist no one sees coming, Eliot leaves his half of the business to Savannah, who had no idea Eliot was still married. To Liv's horror, Savannah won't sell: she wants to help Liv build the now-failing business into the thriving company it used to be. Liv finds herself widowed and shackled to the inexperienced if optimistic Savannah, her polar opposite in every way. But what starts as a personal and professional nightmare transforms into something even savvy, cynical Liv Goldenhorn couldn't begin to imagine. Sexy, tender, and utterly charming, It Had to Be You cleverly tells multiple modern love stories, featuring Liv, Savannah, and the various florists, caterers, musicians, and other vendors of the business, in a joyous Love Actually-style braided narrative. Second chances, secret romances, and steamy soul mates are front and center in this smart, emotional, laugh-out-loud rom com that'll renew your faith in love and have you swooning on every page.

Yes, please give me the romcoms starring women who aren‘t 25. I enjoyed the Love Actually vibe to this, the diversity of the characters and the friendship (?) that bloomed between Liv and Savannah.

wanderinglynn Yes! More rom-coms with 25+ year olds. I‘d even like one or two with a 30+ MC who wasn‘t dramatically left by a cheating ex. 2y
janeycanuck @wanderinglynn I‘m there for that!!! Be warned of this one, though - Liv‘s husband drops dead early on and turns out, he left his half of the business to his mistress. So still cheating but not an ex 🤪 2y
wanderinglynn Well that‘s at least different than divorce. 😆 2y

This book starts out with a wedding that goes wrong. Liv is waiting for her husband and then learns via a phone call from his young lover that he is dead.
5/5 stars for me.

This is such a cute story about second chances that you will not want to miss. When the book opens we meet wedding planner Liv. She is middle of a hellish wedding and waiting for their husband/partner to get there to help. She gets a phone call that her husband is dead, everything for her changes. Savannah moves to New York after her boyfriend, also Liv‘s husband, leaves half their wedding planning business to her.
