It Had To Be You
by Clare Lydon
This was certainly an... interesting experience. It went in a completely different direction than I expected, and I think the summary could have given more clues to what was going to happen, even if it wasn't going to spoil the entire resolution.
To be honest, it wasn't really my thing, and also the behaviour of the protagonists annoyed me at some places. I'm going to do a quick summary of the plot under spoiler tags in case it's not your thing either.
A 23-year-old woman, Milly, wants to introduce her new girlfriend, who is twice her age, to her mother, Jane. Only it turns out that her new girlfriend, Georgia is actually her mother's old girlfriend from their college days. Georgia wastes basically no time dropping Milly and trying to reconnect with Jane. In the end, Jane and Georgia rekindle their relationship (that started as an affair behind Jane's boyfriend's back many years ago...) with Milly's blessing.
I really don't like cheating plots, even if the cheating is only in the past, and I disliked some parts that kind of sounded like "oh, everyone is bi so it's fine" - which is problematic in so many ways, but maybe only I interpreted it that way?
Overall, I'm giving it 3 stars because this really wasn't for me, but others might find it more appealing.
