Synopsis
A sweet second-chance summer romance from the YA Book Prize shortlisted author of This is How You Fall in Love. Perfect for readers of Jenny Han, Joya Goffney and Adiba Jaigirdar!
They broke each other's hearts. Now they're working side by side to fix everyone else's.
Poppy isn't looking for love - she's looking for a way to get her mum on the client list of Eternally Yours, the most exclusive matchmaking agency in town. So when she lands a summer job there, she's ready to fake her passion for romance and keep her head down.
Except her ex-boyfriend Salman is also working there. And he somehow still knows exactly how to make her laugh when she's trying to hate him.
As they're forced to plan dates for other people, Poppy and Salman find themselves revisiting their own history - and maybe rewriting it. But will they be able to find their way back to each other for good?
