Dating isn’t easy these days. Just ask hapless singletons Jamie Newman and Laura McIntyre, two thirtyish Brits who are trying to remain positive in the face of all of the awkwardness, chaos, and humiliation that pave the road to finding love. Jamie, who’s still licking his wounds after his fiancée abandoned him, will try just about anything to find the girl of his dreams: from disastrous blind dates to the world’s worst speed-dating event. Laura, who is getting a little nervous with the big 3-0 looming, tries to put her awful-but-sexy ex in her rear view and move on, even if it means blind dates with spandex-clad bikers and drunken first-date hand jobs. When Jamie and Laura finally meet each other, love starts to blossom—but throw in some bad fajitas, obnoxious parents, and exes coming out of the woodwork, and things get complicated fast. A hilarious, relatable romp through the travails of modern love, this book will make you laugh until you cry.

‘Yeah! It should be great fun.’ ‘Er… okay,’ she says, trying to sound positive. ‘It’s different I guess.’ The doubt in her voice makes me wince. I give her the details of where to meet and I hang up to begin some hardcore hand-wringing. This is another one of Jamie Newman’s legendary dating gambles. As the last one ended up with me having to buy a new bin for the kitchen, I’m not altogether confident it’ll pay off. We meet outside ‘Go-Karting For Fun’ on Friday night. I only managed to
after that. There had even been one time when he’d said he thought that Thorntons sold better quality chocolate. He’d slept on the couch that night. ‘You know? With the shop? Things have been tight for me recently. The gym shut its doors so I’ve been out of work for a few months.’ My eyes narrow. ‘So what are you expecting from me?’ Mike can’t look me in the eye. ‘Well, I did put a lot of money into the place when you opened it. In a way it’s kinda partly mine.’ ‘Really?’ The lazy evening
the management deliberately organised these get-togethers to bring long simmering disputes to a drunken climax, damage valuable office machinery and create circumstances leading to excruciating levels of embarrassment the following Monday morning, they would be classed as an unqualified success. This particular office party is the brainchild of Alex, the editor of the news desk. Alex is the kind of guy you’d feel uncomfortable stuck in a lift with. Morale at the paper has been rock bottom for
I hadn’t had time to wash it and I also decided to apply make-up sparingly. My entire outfit screamed ‘I’m not entirely sure about this’, which was fine with me. If Brian turned out to be stimulating in every sense of the word I could break out the lacy thong, fresh dye job and ruby red lipstick the next time I saw him. Slipping on the wedges I paid way too much for in the House Of Fraser sale, I tottered out of my bedroom ready for battle… An hour later I’m already considering a tactical
