About this listen

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A LibraryReads Pick

A hilarious love story about a disillusioned divorcée who agrees to let her children play matchmaker.

Columnist Anna Appleby has left her love life behind after a painful divorce. Who needs a man when she has two kids, a cat, and uncontested control of the TV remote? Besides, she’d rather be single than subject herself to the hell of online dating. But her office rival is vying for her column, and no column means no stable source of income. In a desperate attempt to keep her job, Anna finds herself pitching a unique angle: seven dates, all found offline, chosen by her children.

From awkward encounters to unexpected connections, Anna gamely begins to put herself out there, asking out waiters, the mailman, and even her celebrity crush. But when a romantic connection appears where she least expected it, will she be brave enough to take another chance on love?

Editorial Review

The rom-com of the season
I can probably count on one hand the number of romance listens that have brought me to tears, and I can honestly say that two of those titles were written by Sophie Cousens. Last year’s The Good Part triggered all the feels with its timely message of how important it is to not skip the hard, icky, challenging parts of life to get to the “good part.” Now, with Is She Really Going Out with Him?, Cousens has written a romance that hits so close to home—I have never felt more seen. Like me, Anne is a single mom, doing her best to hold it all together between work and home. When her job as a magazine writer is put in jeopardy, she comes up with the idea to pen a dating column where her kids choose her suitors. Anne’s ensuing dates are so cringe-worthy you can’t help but laugh to keep from crying, but the realization that the man of her dreams is closer than she thinks—and the truly endearing and hilarious way it all goes down—will really bring you to happy tears. — Margaret H., Audible Editor
