Sophie Kinsella, author of the Becky Bloom series, presents a charming love story in the real world in an age of apps and algorithms.
In Love Is Relative , meet Ava: a woman who's had enough of looking for a boyfriend on dating apps. In fact, she's never really enjoyed it... She's always preferred face-to-face meetings and following her own intuition rather than trusting algorithms that promise the perfect match.
After a recent breakup, she decides to avoid thinking about men for a while and heads off to a writing retreat in Italy. Participants are forbidden from revealing their true identity or any details about their personal lives. They're not even allowed to use cell phones, which is a challenge for her. But Ava is determined to focus solely on the book she's writing.
That is, until she meets someone, let's say... interesting. All Ava knows about the guy who calls himself Dutch is that, besides being gorgeous, he's fun and a good guy. And it doesn't take long for her to discover he's good in bed, too. The days pass like a dream; everything is perfect... But the day comes to return to reality.
Back in London, Ava finally discovers that the guy she's already crushing on is named Matt. And as the make-believe world gives way to the real world, they begin to realize that their lives are very different. They're both completely in love with each other, but it soon becomes clear that they're not as compatible as they'd imagined... Will Ava and Matt be able to stay together? Or are we looking at a case of irreconcilable differences?
Love is Relative is a perfect book for those who like romantic comedies and are fans of Carina Rissi, Marian Keyes and Jojo Moyes.
