About the book:
It Had To Be You
Growing up, sisters Libby and Nicky never knew who they'd find at breakfast.
Their parents fostered children of all ages, and although the girls loved playing their part in providing a safe haven, it meant that life was rarely peaceful.
Now as a single mother of two, Libby's life is still anything but peaceful. In her work as an antenatal
coach, as well as for the charity she and Nicky run for teenage mothers, Libby uses all the skills she
learnt growing up surrounded by children. Her days are full, caring for her family, the mothers-to-be and the latest strays she has welcomed into her home.
But in the dark of the lonely nights, Libby worries she's falling apart at the seams.
One troubled boy and a reckless decision she made thirteen years ago still haunts her.
Two hearts that were broken, still not mended.
The time has come for Libby to look out for herself. As her family, friends and her community have
known forever, Libby is one of a kind, and if she can just learn to love herself, she may be able to
welcome back the love she let slip through her fingers.
Uplifting, heart-warming and irresistibly good for the soul, it's impossible not to fall in love with a
Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

My Review:
It Had To Be You by Beth Moran is a lovely feel good read that is pure escapism at its very best. I have to admit I wasn't too sure if it was going to be for me when I first started it, but I was soon proved wrong as the author's trademark warmth and humour began to come through and I found myself falling in love with these larger than life characters.
There is a warmth to Beth Moran's writing that, after a rocky start, made me fall in love with this story as we begin to learn what happened thirteen years ago to tear Libby's family apart.
Sisters Libby and Nicky grew up in a household filled with children of all ages who were fostered by their parents. The girls loved playing their part in providing a safe haven for the children in their parents care, but it did mean that they very rarely got a moment to themselves.
Now, as a single mum to two young children, Libby works as an antenatal coach alongside running a charity for teenage mothers with her sister, Nicky. Her life is far from peaceful as she juggles caring for her family as well as tending to the mothers-to-be and helping those down on their luck, who she has welcomed into her home.
But then a face that has haunted her for years reappears and Libby must face up to the ghosts of her past if she has any hope of moving forward with her life. Can she let go of her heartache and begin to put her own happiness first at long last?
It Had To Be You is a beautifully written and heartwarming story that is quite possibly my favourite Beth Moran novel yet! A charming and uplifting tale, this is a book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Just lovely!
It Had To Be You by Beth Moran is available to purchase now.
