Synopsis

She's found the perfect man . . . There's just one big twist.

Stuck in a Production Assistant job and living at home with her parents after a painful breakup, thirty-one-year-old Chloe Fairway isn’t where she wants to be in life. The last thing she needs is to face the people who once voted her "most likely to succeed" at her upcoming ten-year college reunion. And she definitely doesn’t want to see her former best friend, Sean Adler, who is now a hotshot film director living the life Chloe dreamed of. Desperate to make a splash—and to save face in front of the man who might be the one that got away—she turns to a mysterious dating service.

Enter Rob, her handsome, well-read, and charming match, the perfect plus-one to take to her reunion. The more she gets to know him, the more perfect he appears to be. Could it be that this dating service knows her better than she knows herself? And can she overlook the one big catch? As Chloe reconnects with old friends, she begins to question everything she thought she wanted. Maybe, just maybe, revisiting the past is exactly what she needs to move forward.

It requires a referral and f......more

Goodreads review by Nilufer on November 08, 2025

I have some pretty complex feelings about this book. I’m not the biggest fan of love triangles, and the unexpected sci-fi twist left me conflicted—I’m still not sure what to make of it.

4.5-5⭐️ What a unique story. It felt scary timely and yet fresh and futuristic. Am I even making sense? LOL. I’m now convinced Sophie Cousens can do anything, though after reading her author’s note, I’m glad her third iteration of this book is the one that stuck. Full review to come. 📌 The synopsis......more

Goodreads review by Stephanie on November 10, 2025

A solid 3.75 I will read anything Sophie Cousens writes. Her ability to weave contemporary women’s fiction with elements of magical realism, romance, and midlife crises without feeling redundant or cheesy is impressive, especially in such an oversaturated genre. I have loved all of her past books, so......more

What does it say about me that I was kinda into Rob… jkjk, but honestly who wouldn’t want a perfect date? I had a good time with this one, it’s easy to binge, humorous, and heartwarming. Sophie Cousens books are firmly in the women’s fiction with romance category and this one has no shortage of self......more
