One of Nerd Daily’s Most Anticipated Books of 2024
"Cousens has a well-earned reputation for writing delightful love stories, and this one more than delivers. The enemies-to-lovers chemistry between Anna and Will is both believable and steamy, and Cousens deftly plays with rom-com tropes while crafting a journey of self-discovery in the wake of divorce. It’s also refreshing to read a slightly older heroine—Anna is in her late 30s, an age that often seems nonexistent in romances—with an established life, career, and children. A supremely satisfying love story with all the charm readers have come to expect from Cousens." —Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Clever, thought-provoking, and oh-so-funny, Sophie Cousens’s latest novel will make anyone consider all their potential mates—and the best and worst dates. Original and witty, this novel is a true delight, one that had me reading non-stop to find out what happened and making me miss the characters once it ended. Who says parents can’t have fun?!" —Zibby Owens, bestselling author of Blank, host of Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books
"Is She Really Going Out with Him has all the ingredients to become your next favorite read: a protagonist you can root for, a mysterious love interest you’ll (eventually) swoon over, iconic dating scenes that will leave you in stitches, and a path to love that’s sweet, fun, and uplifting. Cousens is a master at writing enchanting, laugh-out-loud stories that tug at your heartstrings. You will be charmed!" —Mia Sosa, USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man
"Zippy dialogue, a great cast, and a delicious enemies to lovers plot made me want to turn my phone off and read in one sitting. . . . Charming, with so much heart and Cousens’ trademark wit—a fab read." —Cesca Major, author of Maybe Next Time
"Sophie Cousens has been one of my favorite writers for years now, and with Is She Really Going Out With Him? proves that she is only getting better and better with each book. This book has it all: heart, humor, and buckets of charm. Anna's journey was completely captivating and yet entirely relatable, while Will is a deliciously swoony hero. Cousens has done it again!" —Falon Ballard, author of Right on Cue
"Brimming with Cousens’ trademark wit, charm, and richly drawn characters, Is She Really Going Out With Him is a page-turning romance that spotlights parenthood, community, and knowing your worth. I'll read anything Sophie Cousens writes!" —Ellie Palmer, author of Four Weekends and a Funeral
"Sophie Cousens masterfully slips another gorgeous life lesson between page after page of pitch perfect jokes and a romance that builds just right. This one might be her most touching yet - that the path back to ourselves is always through the eyes of the people that love us most." —Jessie Rosen, author of The Heirloom
