What to expect

A rivalry as old as time. . . The Hating Game meets Honey and Spice in this sizzling, hilarious and utterly relatable rivals-to-lovers workplace rom-com about surviving - and maybe even thriving - in your twenties.

Maddison Clarke has always lived by tick-lists, schedules, and five-year plans. So, she didn't foresee being this close to thirty and still living at home, in an assistant role, with the closest thing to a committed relationship being her grocery delivery driver. But when she lands the opportunity to lead on the company's biggest event to date, Maddison sees a chance to get her life back on track.

There is just one problem: she needs to join forces with Aiden Edwards, her long-time rival and the infuriatingly handsome bane of her existence. Aiden and his casual arrogance and absolute lack of urgency test her at every turn, so when he promises to walk away if she can give up her notebooks and live spontaneously, Maddison agrees. . . even if the concept is entirely alien to her.

But as the two are forced closer together, Maddison begins to wonder if this whole dare is Aiden's way of trying to help her, rather than ruin her. And if that's the case, can they truly insist this simmering tension between them is nothing more than hate? Maddison's quarter-life crisis seems to be turning into a quarter-love crisis. . . and that was not part of the plan.

Critics Review

A sassy, light and sweet rivals-to-lovers romance. Maddison is the best kind of heroine; I adored her and Aiden's journey from sniping rivals to sizzling lovers
Elizabeth Drummond, bestselling author of The House Sitter and The Reunion
Quarter-Love Crisis is a funny, honest and deeply relatable novel about the highs and lows of navigating your twenties. It feels at once like a crash out prompted diary entry and deeply reassuring hug from your best friend. Brimming with heart and humour, Burke's debut is a warm exploration of love, friendship and the delightful messiness of being in your twenties
Rufaro Faith Mazarura, author of Let the Games Begin
An utterly relatable rom-com with all of my favourite tropes. Jasmine Burke is one to watch
Carlie Walker, bestselling author of The Takedown
Quarter-Love Crisis is a sparkling, buoyant debut that so deftly captures the highs, lows, and everythings-in-between of that period in your twenties where you know you've got the rest of your life ahead of you, but you also can't help but feeling like you're already falling behind. The romance between the leads absolutely sizzles, but the true star is relatable badass Maddison with her big dreams and even bigger heart. What a moving, authentic, joyful ode to one's twenties
Pyae Moe Thet War, author of I Did Something Bad
A smart and hilarious romcom, Jasmine has deftly mixed iconic 2010s nostalgia with sizzling chemistry and finished with a modern twist. Quarter-Love Crisis is an instant classic
