NEW RELEASE
It Had to Be You - Ellie Adams (2014)
For Lizzy, it doesn't get much more humiliating than being dumped at a birthday party, while dressed as Henry VIII. But then the video of her break-up with boyfriend Justin goes viral and she becomes known in the media as the girl who got jilted. As a PR assistant she is more used to trying to scrounge media coverage for her clients' hard-to-sell products ranging from constipation aids to headband boppers for clearing auras. But she's helped over the trauma by her two single friends Poppet, who is obsessed with Matt Damon, and Nic, a ball-busting, jetsetting executive. Then Lizzy encounters obnoxious business journalist Elliot Anderson, who not only looks down on her industry and is completely out of her league, he's also engaged to a gorgeous fashion designer. But they soon strike up an unlikely friendship. This is funny, classic chick lit, with an adorable heroine, great supporting cast and a leading man who'll grow on you. Very much liking this new direction by Jo Carnegie.
It Had to Be You, by Ellie Adams (aka Jo Carnegie), asks have you walked past your true love today? The summary says: "The worst break-up ever . . . Could be the best thing that has ever happened to her. Lizzy Spellman has been dumped. At a party. While wearing a Henry VIII costume. By the man she thought was The One. Someone even filmed it, so now she's a massive YouTube hit sensation too. Just when she thinks things can't get any worse, she meets the rudest, most cynical man in the world, and gets a new mission in life. To prove him wrong. Love does exist, and she's going to find it . . ." It Had to Be You is out in August 2014.
