<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>"The book-equivalent of a perfect first date... Highly highly recommend." --Elin Hilderbrand, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>28 Summers</i></b> <p/><b>The author of the "emotional, hilarious, and thought-provoking" (<i>People</i>) novel <i>The Bucket List</i> 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.</b> <p/>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. <p/><i>It Had to Be You</i> cleverly unites Liv, Savannah, and couples as diverse and unique as New York City itself, in a joyous <i>Love-Actually</i>-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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Reads like a love letter to New York-set rom coms. Full of immersive details, rich characters, and great banter, Clark's latest perfectly balances sweetness with an edge of realism that will draw readers in." -- "Booklist (starred review)" </br></br>"Clark's prose is engaging, her characters are likable, and the plot moves quickly... a fun bit of escapism." -- "Kirkus Reviews" </br></br>"When Liv's husband Eliot dies suddenly and leaves her to run their wedding-planning business, that's bad enough. Until she finds out he left his half of it to his young mistress, Savannah. Liv is, shall we say, less than thrilled. But over time, the two women form an unlikely friendship in a quirky, modern love story that will melt your heart like a popsicle."-- "Good Housekeeping, The 20 Best Beach Reads to Add to Your Summer Reading List" </br></br>"Clark creates a quilt of diverse love stories, overlapping and meandering warmly throughout New York City . . . Each story Clark tells packs an emotional punch, but Savannah's and Liv's respective relationships, as well as their own evolution to friends and colleagues, are standouts." -- "Library Journal" </br></br>"<i>The First Wives Club</i> meets <i>Love Actually</i> in this entertaining story of friendship and second chances...
