Two friends. One pact. Love was never supposed to be part of the deal… until it was. Ever been dumped at a wedding? I have. I’m Sophie McCarthy—chronic dater of red flags, narcissists, and dumpers at weddings. I even dated one guy who believed in the “mermaid lifestyle.” Don’t ask. Desperate to break the cycle, my friends and I make a pact: every new guy gets vetted. Fail the test? It’s a no. Pass? Well, we haven’t gotten that far yet—mostly because my roommate, Jason (serial dater of nurses and my frustratingly hot best friend), keeps rejecting every single one I bring home. Apparently, no one’s good enough. It’s supposed to be friendly concern, but those lingering looks, that smirk when he says my dates are hopeless? Yeah… it’s starting to feel like something else. But falling for Jason would be a terrible idea. So why does it feel so right? Set in New Zealand, No More Bad Dates is a fun, heart-warming friends to lovers rom com for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi Mcfarlane, and Lindsey Kelk. It's a light-hearted, humorous, and fun full-length novel that can be read as a standalone title. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The perfect fun-filled escape from reality.
