This was a beautiful romance with characters you really end up rooting for. It was emotional and engaging and I really enjoyed it.

This book jumped out at me from the shelf, the cover and synopsis grabbed my attention.

Abbie and Oz are the main characters of this book, and the story focuses on second chances.

The story was well written and I felt fully engaged around the 20% mark. The writing style was great and the story moved at a good pace.

I like storylines with coincidences, even if they sometimes feel a little far fetched. This was an enjoyable read that I would recommend to others.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review 📚

A light easy to read romance. I finished within a couple of days. I liked the main characters and the way the story played out. Perfect summer beach read.

A light, romantic read ideal for the summer. It was a little slow in places, but generally enjoyable with good characters and a lot of romance.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

My opinion of this one veers, depending on how cynical I’m feeling. If I’m full of hope and optimism then I’ll admit I read it in a few days and was swept up in the passion between Abi and Oz and how wonderful it was things developed. If I flip to the other perspective, then it’s a novel full of rather convenient coincidences, that keep bringing them together.

But I’ll go with hope and optimism, and say I really enjoyed it, and how I still hope one day I might have that lightening moment that keeps happening for Abi and Oz… who doesn’t want that!

This was a beautiful romantic tale that gave me all the feels. I managed to read it in a few days and it gave me such a cosy felling.

It Must Be Love sparkles with longing and yearning. Abbie has just got engaged to Charlie, the perfect guy, with a diamond nearly as big as the Ritz. On the same guy, she has run into Oz. Oz is her Before Sunset guy. Abbie makes herself weak at the knees as she sees him for the first time in years. So, who will she choose?

Such a lovely whirlwind romance. It’s delightful, full of love and adventure, and life. A great book to read on a relaxing day.

I really don't enjoy second chance romances, and especially didn't enjoy this one. In fact I think I would prefer Abbie to have ended up single and solo, as neither partner was a great fit for her imo.

A beautifully sweet second-chance romance, with relatable characters, angst and pining. One of my favourite things is how much Oz has been perfect for her the entire time. It was sweet, cosy, and a really quick read. If you’re after something warm and fuzzy, this is for you.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me a free copy of this book for my honest opinion.

An emotional second chance romance , I found it a bit predictable but an easy read - enjoyable
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review.

When Abbie met Oz, they were young, idealistic students from different backgrounds, but their connection was unmistakable. Then Oz went home to Istanbul and life moved on.

Now Abbie is with the man she thinks she's going to spend the rest of her life with, until she meets Oz again - a chance encounter that might change everything.

They find themselves drawn to each other once more, but have commitments, jobs and families that take priority, and too much time has passed, hasn't it?

Abbie and Oz are about to find out that no matter how many miles and obstacles are between them, fate might just have another plan, and that their love story isn't over yet.
