Book talk - Review of Is This It? By Hannah Tovey

  Ivy and Mia have been best friends since the fun, messy, hungover years of their twenties.Ten years later, Mia has it all - the man, the house, the career. Ivy is skint, single, and scared that she isn't a 'hot mess' any more - she's a walking disaster. But one night, Ivy switches her phone off, peels last night's drunken pizza off the sofa, and makes a list. A list that changes everything . . . The new Ivy has a proper job. She goes on fancy dates in wine bars. She's starting to think: maybe 'faking it till you make it' is easy? But then she meets Scott. Curly-haired, sarcastic Scott. Sh*t. _________________________________________________ Is This It came to me to just at the right time in my life. YES, it sounds awfully cliche to say, but it is true.

Perfect for fans of will -they-won't-they love stories, romantic comedies and Josie Silver. For Jess and Tom, timing is everything. For her, it's the moment she delivers the perfect punchline. For him, it's the heartbeat in the music he makes with his band. And from the night they meet, sharing the same stage at the Edinburgh Festival, their attraction is undeniable. At first, it seems their timing is as perfect in the wings as it is in front of a crowd. But as Jess and Tom's careers take off, the moment for true connection is always just out of reach. With fate pushing them together, only to pull them apart, will the timing ever be right? After all, when it comes to love, the timing has to be perfect. . . doesn't it? I kindly received an early copy through Netgalley and have since been ...
