The Cheap Dates Club: The uplifting, funny and escapist new rom-com of summer 2023

Two broke strangers. Two broken hearts. Two happily-ever-afters for the price of one? Isla and Leigh are starting to think love is not worth it. Until they both see an ad in the gazette for a new dating service, which vows to help skint singles ‘find love for free’ while giving back to the community. The dates on offer range from the classic meet cute (dog walking) to the less-than-cute (litter picking)… but when Isla is matched with Leigh, she’s surprised by how quickly sparks begin to fly. Being a cheap date is nothing to be ashamed of. But will the price of Leigh’s past heartbreak – or a suave rival offering Isla a more lavish lifestyle – keep them apart? Sometimes, even low-cost romance is high stakes… In this contemporary city comedy, Lottie Brook's latest fiction, The Cheap Dates Club, explores the romantic escapades of Isla and Leigh. Their journey, filled with dog walking and litter picking, is a testament to the fact that love doesn't always come with a hefty price tag.
