When roommate Hannah gets engaged, twenty-seven-year-old teacher Rachel is challenged to start dating again after years of hiding from heartbreak. What follows is a hilarious string of catastrophic setups—Lysol-spraying fishermen, cemetery visits, and a guy who serves a meat shake through a straw. But when Hannah's brother James, Rachel's former fiancé, moves to town, Rachel must finally face the fear that made her walk away from love in the first place. A warm, funny, clean romantic comedy about second chances. Every terrible date in the book is based on a true story submitted by real women—dating really is this bad. A laugh-out-loud clean rom-com in the vein of Melanie Jacobson and Rebecca H. Jamison. The one man she can't have is the one she never got over—and he just moved to town. Perfect escapist read for anyone who's survived a blind date from you-know-where. Perfect for a woman who loves clean, humorous contemporary romance and stories about second chances with an ex.
