Modern dating’s a mess.

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 regrettable one-night stand with her annoying friend James, Daisy wonders why, in a sea of intelligent, gorgeous women, do 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 happy to go along with Daisy and Maya if it means more time alone with Daisy. But as Daisy sets out to transform him into the perfect partner, she realises she might already like him exactly as he is...

Lord has an uncanny knack for turning the private observations of a group chat into compelling material. The novel captures the texture of dating with anthropological precision, in the way that Dolly Alderton, Helen Fielding or Nora Ephron did for previous generations of women
