Publisher Description
She's found the perfect man . . . There's just one big twist.
Stuck in a Production Assistant job and living at home with her parents after a painful breakup, thirty-one-year-old Chloe Fairway isn’t where she wants to be in life. The last thing she needs is to face the people who once voted her "most likely to succeed" at her upcoming ten-year college reunion. And she definitely doesn’t want to see her former best friend, Sean Adler, who is now a hotshot film director living the life Chloe dreamed of. Desperate to make a splash—and to save face in front of the man who might be the one that got away—she turns to a mysterious dating service.
Enter Rob, her handsome, well-read, and charming match, the perfect plus-one to take to her reunion. The more she gets to know him, the more perfect he appears to be. Could it be that this dating service knows her better than she knows herself? And can she overlook the one big catch? As Chloe reconnects with old friends, she begins to question everything she thought she wanted. Maybe, just maybe, revisiting the past is exactly what she needs to move forward.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One woman’s search for the perfect man leads to an unusual dilemma in this refreshing rom-com. Chloe Fairway is frustrated with both her non-existent love life and her dead-end job at a small unsuccessful production company. And her 10-year college reunion is coming up, which makes her even more frustrated and embarrassed. So when an acquaintance recommends a curious dating service, Chloe is intrigued enough to sign up. Then she gets paired with her dream man, someone who almost seems too perfect to be real. In the skilled hands of author Sophie Cousens, Chloe’s situation is at once delightfully quirky and authentically heartwarming, as she realizes that love doesn’t have to be perfect to make her happy. And Then There Was You is a romantic comedy that’s as thoughtful as it is funny.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cousens (Is She Really Going Out with Him) questions what makes the perfect man in this entertaining sci-fi-tinged rom-com. Chloe Fairway dreads her Oxford college reunion. Her fellow classmates are extremely successful, especially her former best friend turned Hollywood screenwriter, Sean Adler, while Chloe, who had great hopes of becoming a writer herself, is stuck working as a PA for a film producer and living with her parents in London. Not wanting to show up without at least a date, she signs up for secretive new dating service Perfect Partners, which promises to match her with her ideal guy. Rob Dempsey, the man she's paired with, is exactly her type in both looks and personality and he's demonstratively smitten with her. Chloe is thrilled—until she learns that Rob is a robot programmed to her exact specifications. Still, she takes him as her date to the reunion—where she reunites with both Sean and another friend, John Elton; reexamines their shared past; learns she can't trust the glossy facades she sees on social media; and feels unexpected sparks with a perfectly imperfect man. Some serious suspension of disbelief is required, but Cousens has a lot of fun with her premise, and it's easy to root for Chloe to find true love. Readers will be charmed.
