Life at thirty-two is not at all what Marina Spicer had expected. And to top it off, she is absolutely tired of wasting time dating men who never seem to be a good match. Frustrated, she creates Dealbreakers, an anonymous app where women review how men stack up to their internet profiles. Her high standards have served her well at work, so why not in love?
Enter Lucas Kennedy. Marina's charming Irish co-worker and newest nemesis.
When the two are paired on a project to test out date ideas, ultimately determining which of them will be promoted, Marina takes a peek at Dealbreakers, hoping to dig up some dirt. But not only is Lucas the most annoying human on the planet, he also has the most dealbreakers listed on the app . . . ever.
As they argue their way through each 'date', Marina finds herself having more fun than she's had in years. And when their attraction becomes too strong to resist, Marina struggles not to break some of her own rules. After all, if the Dealbreakers say he's Mr. Wrong, he can't possibly be Mr. Right . . . can he?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A woman looking for the perfect man reevaluates her criteria in this cute contemporary from Forsythe (The Fixer Upper). London tech developer Marina Spicer created Dealbreakers, an app overlay that shows reviews of men on dating apps written by women they've gone out with in the past. She hopes it will be a time-saver in her own search for a man who doesn't have tattoos or smoke and is ready for commitment. Enter Lucas Kennedy, her coworker at Let's Go, a London start-up app aiming to connect users through exciting outings. The pair are tasked with testing out date ideas—including ax throwing, cocktail making, and an escape room—and as their competitive spirits run rampant, a mutual attraction develops. Unfortunately, Marina can't get past the comments on Dealbreakers about Lucas's reputation as a "Lothario." Forsythe's witty and deeply introspective story makes a case for taking a chance on messy, complicated love. Readers will be eager for Marina to open up to her perfectly imperfect soulmate.
