Reviews

"[A] laugh-out-loud love story." Woman's World

"[A] hilariously heartwarming jaunt about finding love later in life with characters that feel like friends." People

"Every season is rom com season. . . . This How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days-esque one is going to be all over BookTok when it comes out. . . . This is the time to read up on the rest of Sophie Cousens backlist while youre at it." theSkimm

"Fresh and funny . . . For some of us, figuring our who we are outside of our roles and responsibilities can be tricky. Is She Really Going Out with Him by Sophie Cousens offers ample wit and wisdom on the subject." Real Simple

"Over the course of four novels, Sophie Cousens has quietly but reliably become one of my most anticipated authors of romantic comedies . . . A lovely exploration of a woman embarking on rebuilding her life and reimagining her future. While the romance aspect is genuine, enticing and central to the plot, Anna's story of learning to reprioritize herself and revive her friendship networks in the wake of divorce is almost as important. Although there are heart-tugging moments here, there is also plenty of humor (relinquishing oneself to a series of blind dates is an inherently funny plot setup, after all). This is the perfect book to give to a good friend this holiday season, or to cherish for yourself when you need a beautifully written, heartwarming hug of a novel." Book Reporter
