The Plus One

It started as a fake date for the wedding from hell . . . The next sparkling and swoony enemies-to-lovers rom-com from the author of the TikTok-hit A Brush with Love and Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake. ............................................ Some facts are indisputable: Gravity exists. Indira doesn't like Jude. Jude doesn't like Indira. Indira has everything together: an amazing job, a boyfriend, a car. What more could a late twenty-something want? Well, not walking in on her boyfriend with another woman, for one thing. Her childhood enemy, Jude, has nothing together. Having spent three years travelling the world to treat emergencies and humanitarian crises, a quick trip home for his best friend's wedding has him struggling to readjust. Thrust into an elaborate (and ridiculously drawn out) wedding, Jude and Indira - who can't seem to escape her ex and his new girlfriend - are both soon at breaking point. Their solution? A bargain to be each other's fake dates. But what happens when the forced proximity and fake displays of affection start to feel a bit too . . . real? ............................................
