It Had to Be You: A Novel

Liv Goldenhorn is in for a shock when she is informed of her husband Eliot’s death. Even more surprising, the informant is Eliot’s secret girlfriend Savannah. In the blink of an eye, Liv goes from happily running her wedding planning business, In Love in New York, with her husband, to having to share the rapidly failing business with Savannah, who now owns half of it because of her husband’s will. For down-to-earth Liv, this is a professional nightmare. She doesn’t want to work with anyone like Savannah, especially when that person should be her enemy. For optimistic Savannah, this is the perfect opportunity to fit into crazy, cluttered New York. Also, what’s not to love about wedding planning? She’ll do this like a boss.

As Liv and Savannah go through significant changes, both will discover new friends and romances. Will Liv and Savannah get their happily ever after’s? I thought this was a cute book with sweet romances. At the start of the book, I felt there were too many characters. However, as the book progressed, it got better. The romance was a little fast-paced for my taste, but the entire book was a fun read, overall.
