Description
You will LOVE this wonderfully warm-hearted and laugh-out-loud funny romantic comedy for fans of Sophie Ranald, Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Kinsella.
Emma Londstown spent her twenties travelling, and now needs to make up for lost time. All her friends are married, having babies, and settling into domestic bliss.
Determined to catch up, Emma plunges herself headfirst into the Sydney dating world, and discovers single men in this city are one of three things; jerks, illiterate, or nerds that work in IT (she must be sending out subtle hints in binary code).
This story, set in the bustling heart of Sydney, is a humorous, light-hearted novel for every woman who has ever wanted to find The One, with a clear underlying message: be yourself.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book.
Love that it's set in Sydney and makes you think about what you ultimately want from life.
The main character at times felt like her own worst enemy, digging herself a bigger hole, but I suppose it did make it more entertaining. Emma was quirky and trying to break away from the norm, which is probably how a lot of people feel without realising it.
A fun, witty romantic comedy that differs from the rest.
Connie B, Bookseller
Nice light hearted romance. I enjoyed the storyline and found the characters delightful. I would recommend this book. Great beach read!

So I started this book and by the 2nd chapter I just though ugh, really, this again? I skim read a few pages up until around chapter 5 and then I was hooked. I laughed, I cried, I cringed, I cheered.
I think that Emma is one of my most favourite heroines, it helps that she's not your usual skinny Minnie and she knows her flaws but still finds her way to what she wants. Nick is like the yummiest thing ever and will be added to my literary heartthrobs.
Ive never read anything by this author before but I definitely want to now and can't wait to, honestly.
Definitely a must-read, don't let the first few chapters out you off - this is not the same as the rest!
4 stars (still not entirely over my first person narrative hate)
