About This Book
Poppy and Cam are used to bailing at the first sign of trouble.
“A well-observed romp underpinned by good advice.”
– Sunday Times
“A romantic comedy with substance.”
– Irish Times
“adorable and hilarious” – Beth Reekles
Poppy has never been in a real relationship. Why bother, when
boys never seem to live up to her expectations? One red flag, and
she's out.
Cam has never dated anyone for long. A day here, a week there
– but nothing more. He always seems to get spooked and get the ick.
So their friends set them a challenge: Poppy has to stick it out
for two whole months with the next guy she meets and Cam can't
be the one to end things. When they meet on the bus and agree to
go out, Cam tries everything he can to put Poppy off, but this time,
Poppy can't disappear at a glimpse of something she doesn't
like…
– Perfect for fans of Holly Bourne, Jenny Han and Dolly Alderton.
– An entertaining escapist romance that's also a topical and nuanced
look at healthy relationships. Deftly exploring the difference
between what makes a legitimate red flag and what is simply being
flawed and human.
– Perfect for TikTok and Bookstagram, with shades of all the
best romcom movies!

About This Book
This delightful YA rom-com debut follows two teens who are dared by their friends to stick with the next person they date instead of bailing at the first sign of a minor red flag. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Dugan and Lynn Painter
Poppy is known for her high standards. Why bother with relationships when boys don’t ever seem to live up to her expectations? One red flag and she’s out.
Cam is known for quickly developing the ick. He’s never dated anyone for long—a week here, a month there, but he always gets spooked.
When Poppy’s friends challenge her to give someone a chance for two whole months, Poppy decides that Cam (her mysterious bus crush) could be the best of an underwhelming bunch. But Cam’s been set his own challenge: he’s banned from ending things in his next relationship . . . and that means he’s ready to do whatever he can to put Poppy off.
Neither Poppy nor Cam want it to work . . . until it does. Despite their flaws, they just might find that there’s a lot to love.
