Modern dating s a mess. Unfortunately, so are they.

Daisy and Maya bounce around the city like they own it, from all-night house parties to sticky-floored smoking areas, drinks in hand.

But after a particularly regrettable one-night stand with her annoying friend James, Daisy starts to look around and wonder why, in a sea of intelligent, gorgeous women, all their prospects seem so hopeless. It s time for The Project, a radical reinvention of dating, and who better to start with than James?

James may be raw material, but he s quite happy to go along with Daisy and Maya if it means a little more time alone with Daisy. But falling for James was never part of The Project - can she bring down her walls enough to let someone in? Because she might not find someone perfect, but she might find something real.

A fun, sexy friends-to-lovers romcom, perfect for fans of Dolly Alderton's Good Material and Yomi Adegoke's The List
