Modern dating's a mess. Unfortunately, so are they. The era-defining romcom from Vogue dating columnist and author of Notes on Heartbreak , Annie Lord. 'Annie Lord is a phenomenal talent' DOLLY ALDERTON 'If one person knows how to write about modern relationships. it's Annie Lord' VICE 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 particularly regrettable one-night stand with her annoying friend James, Daisy starts to look around and wonder why, in a sea of intelligent, gorgeous women, 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 quite happy to go along with Daisy and Maya if it means a little more time alone with Daisy. But falling for James was never part of The Project - can she bring down her walls enough to let someone in? Because she might not find someone perfect, but she might find something real.
