No Cure for Love Robinson Peter Hodder&Stoughton

The convention of a book synopsis is fundamentally ridiculous. How can I adequately convey in only 150 words the complexity and bewilderment of the past ten months and the effect the events that occurred have had on my perfectly regulated existence? • One would need much longer to record in detail how I was blackmailed into demonstrating the efficacy of my soulmate program and forced to participate in a series of ridiculous dates. How my life has been forever altered as a consequence • Prior to this I was driven and focused, consumed with work, destined to change the world with my brilliance. I had no family, no friends and no need for frivolous human connection. I was systemic and solitary, a woman with one goal • I am that person no longer • My name is Indiana Dylan and this is the story of how I fell in love

A comedy of manners set in New York City, following a sprawling cast of characters as they navigate ambition, faith, addiction to technology, and the search for love • New York, 2015.

So it's a shame that her chaotic roommate Roxy is persistently getting her into trouble, not the most convenient timing for her millionaire brother Bill to decide to embark upon a spiritual search for the meaning of life and plain inconvenient that Alice just can't seem to put down her phone • And then there's the biggest distraction of all, threatening to permanently derail all of her plans: love

A book synopsis is fundamentally ridiculous. How can I possibly convey, in only 100 words, the events of the past year and their impact on my perfectly ordered existence? • It is insufficient space to accurately detail how I was blackmailed into demonstrating my flawless algorithm to find a soulmate, despite having no desire for one • In my former life I avoided trivial human connections. I was alone, accomplished and brilliant • Unfortunately, that solitary and driven woman no longer exists • My name is Indiana Dylan and this is the extraordinary account of how I fell in love • There: 100 words exactly

Even when you've given up on love, it will still rescue you • Margot doesn't have time for love • Will is afraid to love • And neither of them are expecting to fall in love with Blossom: a gentle Staffy with a tragic past, a belly made for rubbing and a head the size of a football • After their first meeting at the rescue centre, both Margot and Will want to adopt Blossom so reluctantly agree to share custody.
