Resumen del Editor

A podcast producer agrees to host a new series about modern dating—but will the show jeopardize her chance at finding real love? From the New York Times bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over and Flying Solo.

Cecily Foster loves to make podcasts. She fiercely protects her colleagues, dearly loves her friends, and never misses dinner with her sister. But after a disastrous relationship with a colleague who stole her heart and her ideas, she's put romantic love on hold.

When the boss who's disappointed her again and again finally offers her a chance to host her own show, she wants to be thrilled. But there's a catch. Actually, two catches. First, the show will be about Cecily's dating life. And second, she has to follow the guidance of influencer and newly minted relationship coach Eliza Cassidy, whose relentlessly upbeat attitude seems ready-made for social media, not real life.

Cecily would rather do anything else than put her singledom on display (ugh) or take advice from the internet (UGH). But when her boss hints that doing the show is the only way to protect the job of her friend, she realizes she has no other choice.

But after she's already committed to go on twenty blind dates of Eliza's choosing, Cecily finds herself unable to stop thinking about Will, a photographer she helped to rescue a very big and very lovable lost dog. Even though there are sparks between the two, Will's own path is uncertain, and Eliza's skeptical whispers about Cecily's decision-making aren't helping. On the one hand, Will seems great. But on the other hand . . . don't they all?

As Cecily struggles to balance the life she wants and the one Eliza wants to create for her, she finds herself at a crossroads. Can Cecily sort through all the advice and find a way to do what she loves without losing herself in the process?
