Clarke Georgia Knihy

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.

'Sexy, fast-paced and extremely funny. You won't want the cheering effect of this brilliant debut to wear off too quickly' Sunday Mirror

"Twenty-five-old Lacey Whitman is very, very busy. She is juggling two fabulous careers, in NYC, is very single, is very social, and has very big plans for her future. The last thing she expects to find out after a routine checkup is that she's the next Angelina Jolie, and not in a good way. Lacey has inherited the breast cancer gene. She's got two choices: watch and wait, or say goodbye to her breasts, forever. It's a choice no woman wants to make. But Lacey's breasts have hardly gotten to first base, much less hit a home run. Partly as a coping mechanism, partly as a way to take back some control of her life, Lacey and her friends create a bucket list--everything she wants to do with and for her breasts before a possible surgery. Thus begins the most emoational and exhilarating year of her life: one of self-exploration that will help her grow up, fall in love, and define her relationship to herself and to her body. Both were things she thought she had a handle on, but now she's learning that letting go might give her the future she really wants. This is one bucket list you'll never forget."--Back cover
