'Utterly hilarious . . . a stellar debut that's sure to charm readers' KATE BROMLEY

'[A] raucously entertaining debut novel' The Times

Gloriously fun, romantic and feel-good, discover a 21st century London fairytale with an unforgettable twist

Once upon a time, in a flatshare south of the river, there lived an aspiring author named Bella Marble. Above all things, above her wish to be a writer, above absolutely anything and everything, Bella wants to find love.

But one fateful week changes everything...

When her best friend moves in with the most boring ogre in history and her perfectly paired parents tell her their own love story is coming to an end, Bella's illusions of finding 'the one' shatters.

With the help of her very own knight in shining Armani, Bella ditches the fairytale and decides it's time to write herself a brand new kind of happy ending. And while London may be fresh out of Princes, it's got a surplus of frogs - and as Bella learns, kissing frogs can be extremely fun.

Fresh, funny and intelligent, this book will make any woman who's experienced dating in the 21st century laugh, wince and cry in recognition, and is perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi Mcfarlane and Beth O'Leary.

Leaving LAMDA for Leeds and graduating with a first class degree in Maths, Luci spent her early career torn between creativity and logic until she realised it's possible to do both. She started out life in the tax world before swiftly seeing the light. She has since worked copywriting social posts for Apple Music, assisting with Amazon and BBC productions at Working Title Television and now works as an analyst at the Guardian by day whilst writing tales of heartbreak, adventure and truly terrible dates by night. She lives in leafy St Albans and when she's not writing, she spends her time drawing, baking and exploring the countryside with her little puppy.
