What to expect
'I laughed so much and didn't notice the time fly, as I managed to finish this in a day' Reader review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Two unlikely housemates. Two tragic dating lives. One mission to try and find love...
Maddie didn't expect to find herself single at the age of 34 after being dumped by her boyfriend so he can 'find himself'... but here she is. Semi-homeless and heartbroken, she is on a mission to find 'the one', no matter how many awful dates it takes.
Life is going exactly to plan for Violet. She lives in a beautiful flat in Notting Hill, is working her dream job as a vet, and is saving herself for marriage. She's also been obsessively waiting for the man in her church to confess his love to her. (It'll happen any day now...)
When Maddie and Violet catch up at an old friend's wedding and Violet offers Maddie her spare room, Maddie jumps at the chance.
United by their quest to find their soulmate, will Maddie and Violet survive the bad dates life throws at them, and finally get lucky in love?
Don't miss the new uplifting and laugh-out-loud novel about friendship, love, and chaotic dates from Mary Newnham, perfect for fans of Kristen Bailey and Sophie Ranald.
