Modern dating’s a mess. A fun, relatable romcom from Vogue's dating columnist and the author of Notes on Heartbreak
‘Raw, funny and sexy. When Harry Met Sally for the club smoking area' RÓISÍN LANIGAN ‘A romcom for messy girls everywhere’ STYLIST 'Captures the texture of contemporary dating... in the way that Dolly Alderton, Helen Fielding or Nora Ephron did for previous generations' GUARDIAN
Daisy and Maya bounce around the city like they own it, from all-night house parties to sticky-floored smoking areas, drinks in hand.
But after a regrettable one-night stand with her annoying friend James, Daisy wonders why, in a sea of intelligent, gorgeous women, do all their prospects seem so hopeless.
It’s time for The Project, a radical reinvention of dating, and who better to start with than James?
James may be raw material, but he’s happy to go along with Daisy and Maya if it means more time alone with Daisy. But as Daisy sets out to transform him into the perfect partner, she realises she might already like him exactly as he is...

This was great. A very realistic portrayal of two twenty-somethings figuring themselves out that I think will appeal really strongly to readers in this age bracket. Romantic but not saccharine. Both main characters are really well-drawn and drive the reader crazy in very believable ways. James was a brilliant lead, you really root for him to find that little bit of extra maturity he's missing. Very satisfying to watch both him and Daisy grow up a little over the course of the book. An easy one to recommend!

LOVED this. So incredibly relatable, some of it genuinely hit hard and made me cringe at my past self. Incisively observed, funny, painfully painfully awkward to read at times but only in how brutally honest it was about how shallow and self-sabotaging it's possible to be in modern dating. I was a little concerned at first at how one-sided all the gender politics was, it felt a little naive, but by the end I think that was the author's point about the lead character - it all comes full circle into a delightfully satisfying romance plot that I personally cannot wait to see on the big screen - am positive these rights will be sold and excited to see it - feels like a Bridget Jones for the 2020s, right down to the snow-dusted final scene! I had Ain't No Mountain High Enough ringing in my ears! Highly recommended as a lovely light easy read of a modern rom com, but with all the wit and intelligence needed to make it a cut above. Thanks to Netgalley & the publishers for the chance to read - I devoured it!

This book is funny, sexy, and incredibly honest about how messy relationships can be in your twenties where a "regrettable one-night stand" can feel like a major crisis in an seemingly hopeless dating scene.The bond between Daisy and Maya is the heart of the book. I loved watching them pour all their energy into "The Project"—attempting to "renovate" their friend James—only to realise they were the ones who needed to grow. It was great to see the main character Daisy, find the courage to stop settling for people who just used her and watching her bring down her walls to find something real rather than "perfect" was truly moving.
Thank you to Netgallery for allowing me a copy before publication.
