Sophie Cousens is one of the most consistent fiction writers out there today. She knows what she does, and she does it bloody well. You settle in knowing you're ready for something relatable, a little silly and completely romantic and she never fails to deliver something totally fun,

Actual rating 4.5.

Absolutely LOVED this gorgeous romcom, mostly because Anna is just such a warm and relatable main character and I enjoyed the fact that she was a little older with children and a divorce behind her. Will and the many other men who come into her life were also compelling, and the dating column angle was great fun! Plus I loved the hilarious Google searches at the end of each chapter, many of which felt all too relatable! Definitely one of those great reads to make you laugh, cry and swoon.

This is my first book of Sophie’s, I found her writing style to be really easy and enjoyable to read. I loved all the stories of the different dates and all the different personalities brought to life. I was rooting for the main characters the whole way through and they were very well suited to each other.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I have enjoyed Cousens' previous books, and this was equally enjoyable. Anna was an entertaining protagonist and the plot was engaging.

I love Sophie Cousens and I love this book! I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favourite Sophie Cousens stories and chapter 18 in particular had me belly laughing in public. I'd love to see a TV or film adaptation, because I fell in love with the story. Can't wait for the next book!

What a fun read! I adored the will they, won’t they aspect of this book.

I loved the fact that each chapter began with a list of Google searches relating to the previous chapter - such a great touch!

Thank you so much to Hodder & Stoughton for this ARC!

I really enjoy reading Sophie Cousens books and this one is no exception in fact I think ‘Is She Really Going Out With Him’ is my favourite book so far, I loved the growing relationship between Anna and Will and raced through this book wanting to find out how it ends and at the same time not wanting it to finish. This is such a heartwarming read with some laugh out loud moments with such likeable characters I would love to read a sequel to this one.
Thank you NetGalley for the Arc in return for my honest review.

Anna has expectantly has found herself a single mum after a painful divorce that she didn’t see coming. Blindsided, it hurts even more than her ex has a new young wife and she is struggling with work and kids on her own. Then she learns her rival at work is angling to take her column, and when there is a merger on the cards and potential job losses she knows she needs to make herself invaluable. Cue her crazy idea to let her kids pick her potential dates.

I really enjoyed this book, I mostly listened to it and the narrator was great. It was fun, cute, well paced, enemies to lovers but also a great representation of the vulnerability of dating in the modern day. I actually loved it and I know my friend @leeandruhh did too!

Another enjoyable read by Sophie Cousens, I literally read it in a couple of days. The characters are quirky yet relatable and I just loved seeing how the relationship between Anna and Will developed.

I’ve found this author is sometimes hit and miss for me but this was fantastic. Funny, sweet, hopeful and a real dose of reality.

Book of 2 halves - I almost gave up after the first few chapters, downtrodden divorcee, charming coworker, all very predictable and nothing new. I plugged on and the second half picked up considerably and became a very sweet story.
The characterisation or all players outside the key 2 felt a bit weak and undervalued but overall it was a nice light holiday read.

I absolutely loved this book - it was so cute. The characters were so well-written. I thought that Anna's thoughts were relatable and her situations were realistic. It was refreshing to read how well she was managing her life with her children and a career.

I liked how Will broke down Anna's preconceptions about him and showed his vulnerability. He suddenly became a much more likeable character and had me rooting for him. Anna and Will's banter was engaging and their chemistry was just so magnetic. The secondary characters were also fun and endearing.

This wasn't a story of rediscovery, rather it was a story of shedding inhibitions, gaining confidence and having the capability of driving life into a happy and fulfilling new direction.

Sophie Cousens has become an auto-read for me. I enjoy her writing style, the characters, the plot. Is She Really Going Out With Him? ticked all my boxes, I loved the main characters and the supporting characters, the chemistry and romance were great. The whole story was so relatable, heartwarming, with some more serious topics, but a lot of fun moments too.

I loved it and really recommend this book!

Thank you to the publisher who provided me with an e-copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you netgalley and Hodder for this arc. who doesn't love a sophie cousins book. This latest edition had me sucked right in from the very moment I started reading. It had many laugh out loud moments and was a really wholesome read. I did predict the ending but that made it even more of my favourite read as I was egging the two main characters on. Thank you again I highly recommmend!

Absolutely loved it

I have read all Sophie ’Cousens’ books and have adored them all, and this one is no exception.
The plot is a little predictable but it is still a very enjoyable read. I loved the main characters and all the supporting characters. This book has it all - it’s funny, romantic, heartwarming. I wish I could read it again for the first time. Already can’t wait for her next book!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the advance copy.
