Sophie Cousens – författare

Trettioettåriga Chloe arbetar som assistent åt en filmproducent och har flyttat tillbaka till sina föräldrar efter ett tufft uppbrott. Livet har inte blivit som hon hade tänkt sig.

När Chloe blir inbjuden till klassåterträffen i Oxford växer känslan av misslyckande. För att slippa möta sitt förflutna ensam vänder hon sig till en exklusiv dejtingsajt. Där träffar hon Rob. Han är stilig, allmänbildad och charmig, precis den sortens man som kommer få Chloe att se bättre ut.

Men är han verkligen lösningen på hennes problem – eller är han för bra för att vara sann?

Sophie Cousens har skrivit en modern romcom om konsten att våga följa sitt hjärta i en tid med utmanande dejtingideal.
