Is She Really Going Out with Him?

Series:
Author: Sophie Cousens

Release Date: November 19, 2024








A hilarious love story about a disillusioned divorcée who agrees to let her children play matchmaker.

Columnist Anna Appleby has left her love life behind after a painful divorce. Who needs a man when she has two kids, a cat, and uncontested control of the TV remote? Besides, she’d rather be single than subject herself to the hell of online dating. But her office rival is vying for her column, and no column means no stable source of income. In a desperate attempt to keep her job, Anna finds herself pitching a unique angle: seven dates, all found offline, chosen by her children.

From awkward encounters to unexpected connections, Anna gamely begins to put herself out there, asking out waiters, the mailman, and even her celebrity crush. But when a romantic connection appears where she least expected it, will she be brave enough to take another chance on love?












A romance worth reading!

Anna Appleby is a writer for a news magazine. She has her own column. However, now that the magazine has a new owner, she might lose her job if she doesn't perform well with the readers. This is something she can't afford. Anna is divorced and has two kids, Jess and Ethan, who are counting on her.

Anna pitches a new series of articles. She will go on dates, and her children will be picking the men she goes out with. As a counterpart, her co-worker Will Havers will be writing a column about the women he goes on dates with using an online dating app.

Anna doesn't like Will. She assumes he is entitled and always gets away with everything. But what happens when what you thought you knew is wrong?

As a fan of Sophie Cousens and "This Time Next Year," it was with pleasure that I grabbed "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" This author knows how to write a fulfilling enemies-to-lovers trope. Her protagonists are always relatable. The situations they find themselves in can be embarrassing at times. The humor is always on par. This one had me smiling quite a bit.

Another winner in my book!

Cliffhanger: No

4/5 Fangs
