Lizzy Dent started her publishing career with YA novels set in the world of music before shifting to adult romantic comedies that quickly found a large audience. The Summer Job (2021) was her breakout hit, and she has continued to release warmly received rom-coms in the years since, including The Setup, The Sweetest Revenge, and Just One Taste.
Her adult novels tend to feature women at turning points in their lives, often set in appealing locations that become part of the story’s charm. The tone is funny and warm without being saccharine, and her heroines are likable without being perfect. Readers who enjoy authors like Sophie Kinsella or Beth O’Leary will find a lot to appreciate in Dent’s growing catalog.
