It Had to Be You

This was a dnf for me. I just couldn't get in to the characters, and was mixing up the different perspectives early on in the book. I haven't read any wedding planning centered books until now, and they're just not for me. But if it sounds like something you would like, you should give it a try!






Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a e-arc in exchange for my honest review

I read this after Most wonderful hoping for more queer couples. This novel focusses most on boring straight couples. I didn’t really enjoy any of their stories, and the Zach character was so insufferable it was hard to read through his bits. Zia and Clay were also stereotypes of human beings, couldn’t get into their story at all.

All in all, I think there were too many storylines, and none of them got enough time. The characters were not fleshed out almost at all, they all felt rushed and stereotypical.

I had to drag myself to finish this…

Love Actually quality to it. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for the digital ARC. My thoughts and opinions of this book are mine and are not influenced by having received a complimentary copy.

I had a great time reading this book and if you're a fan of Love, Actually and He's Just Not That Into You (the movie), I think you'd enjoy this. It's got a big ensemble so there's a little bit of getting up to speed with each of them. (For that reason, I probably wouldn't take big breaks in reading this because you might have a hard time following the plot threads.) Perfect for cozy weather season and it would make a great gift for a friend.
