The Project

In The Project by Annie Lord serves up a sharp, funny romcom that captures the chaos of modern dating with real warmth and bite. Set in a sweaty, late-night London of house parties, group chats and questionable choices, it’s the kind of story that feels instantly familiar—then takes you somewhere more heartfelt.

Daisy and Maya are inseparable, orbiting the city’s nightlife and swapping post-date debriefs like a sport. After Daisy’s especially regrettable one-night stand with her irritating friend James, she starts asking uncomfortable questions: why do smart, brilliant women keep settling for such disappointing prospects? Her solution is The Project—a bold attempt to “rebuild” dating from the ground up, starting with James as the trial run.

Perfect for readers who like contemporary romance, friendship-driven stories, and a London setting with plenty of wit.
