What if the secret to finding true love on a dating app was meeting them IRL first? In this
witty and fun rom-com debut from Annabelle Slator rival coworkers become reluctant daters
after they're forced to work together on a brand-new dating app in hopes of winning a
promotion—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game . Grace Hastings’s dream job at
the popular “true love” dating app Fate has turned into a nightmare. Her boss is a leech her
career is stagnating and her fiancé has just brutally dumped her. Her hope for finding her own
love story is waning and she feels like a fraud for promoting a concept she no longer believes
in. When the company’s CEO offers her an opportunity to earn a big promotion she resolves to
fight her imposter syndrome to show she deserves a seat at the table. The opportunity? To
launch a brand-new app focusing on IRL dating and genuine connection. The problem? She must
develop and test-drive a series of “first dates” with the other person gunning for the job:
notorious socialite playboy and Grace’s biggest work rival Eric Bancroft. During their
disastrous hikes dangerous cooking classes and steamy yoga sessions they begin to realize
their stark differences may just be surface level and Eric might just be the perfect person to
challenge Grace’s perceptions of love dating culture and self-worth.
