Two best friends. One messy love story.

After another horrendous first date, Lizzie is DONE with the apps. No more swiping. No more small talk.

Instead, she’s hatching a plan so brilliantly chaotic that her two best gal pals can’t say no: the ex-swap. It’s genius, each woman nominates her finest ex – even if Lizzie’s just so happens to be her work bestie – someone who’s perfect on paper but just not the one. Pre-vetted, best-friend approved and practically gift-wrapped.

Is it a slightly unhinged plan? Of course. But if worst comes to worst, it'll be a funny story; a no-pressure experiment in second-chance romance.

What could possibly go wrong?

Critic Reviews

'A funny, swoony, cringey (in the very best way) take on the undying classic friends to lovers trope. A perfect summer read!' Laura Carter
'This was the sweetest friends-to-idiots-to-lovers romance that had me constantly smiling. The chemistry between Lizzie and Elliot was sizzling and the friendship group's antics – especially the riotous couple dinners – kept the pages turning past my bedtime.' Leonie Mack
'Such a fantastic premise, and the delivery does not disappoint. Emmy has created a brilliant cast of characters who felt immediately like friends. It was devastating to leave them behind. This was my first Emmy Hart, but it absolutely won't be my last!' Rebecca Ryan
'An effortless read! Emmy Hart’s seamless narrative style, crisp sense of humor and astute grasp of what it means to be human shine through. I laughed – a lot. I teared up a time or two.' Sloane Fletcher
