Publisher Description
A funny and timeless novel from Luci Adams in the vein of Sophie Cousens and Kelly Harms featuring:
One horrible, 'bury your head under the covers' kind of day.
Two adorable children and their very hot, very single father.
----
Daisy has realised that when you lose your job, break up with your boyfriend, and become estranged from your sister all at once you really can hit rock bottom.
Seeking to claw her way out from the definition of a bad year, she starts by simply looking like she's clawing her way out. On Instagram. Obviously. But can making her not-so-picture-perfect life look perfect online really help fix her career and love life?
When she takes a stopgap job as a nanny to help a single dad with his girls, being immersed in a close-knit, loving family starts to poke holes in her plan . . . and the closer Daisy gets to someone new, the more she starts to question what the definition of a perfect life really is.
A sparkling and bright novel of love, second chances, and finding your way in the age of ennui and influencers, It Must Be True Then is a delight for the millennial and Gen Z age.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This sparkling second-chance romance from Adams (Not That Kind of Ever After) finds Londoner Daisy Peterson at her wit's end: after 13 years on the job, she's just lost her data analyst position and, with it, her workplace relationship; her dependent younger sister, Mia, is looking for a financial handout; and she has no idea how to move forward. After forcing herself off the couch to buy groceries, Daisy unexpectedly meets rambunctious Bailey and Cara, the two precocious young daughters of Archie Brown, a widowed father, artist, and part-time lawyer. The girls momentarily snap Daisy out of her funk, so when, shortly thereafter, she sees a "nanny wanted" notice on the grocery store's bulletin board, she decides to apply—only to learn that Archie's kid-averse girlfriend posted the ad without his knowledge. Still, Archie agrees to give Daisy a chance, and though she's always maintained she doesn't want children, she soon falls head over heels for Archie's girls—and then for Archie himself. Adams ably demonstrates that long-held positions can be revised, and the book's vibrant prose, appealing hero and heroine, and two kid characters who steal every scene combine to create a truly feel-good story. This is a treat.
