The feel-good, hilarious and swoon-worthy new book from the author of MR WRONG NUMBER After yet another disastrous date, Hallie Piper decides it's time to grow up. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe.

Agreeing that they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realise that they're each other's perfect wing-person - and join forces in their searches for The One. They even place a wager on who can find romance first. But when they agree to be fake dates for a wedding, all bets are off. Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with...
