As if it wasn’t bad enough to be deemed the “most single person” at her magazine’s office, budding reporter Penny has now been tapped to write a series of features called “The Dating Itinerary.” From speed dating to Tinder, old-fashioned matchmakers to up-and-coming “dark dating,” Penny now has to go on a lot of dates. Silver lining: meeting new people should be fun, right? But running into her old rival, George, at her first dating event is decidedly not. Not only does the arrogant know-it-all have zero trouble attracting women, wherever Penny goes, somehow he just. Keeps. Showing. Up. Geo knows he’s right on the cusp of writing success with the chance to have his own syndicated column. All he has to do is follow his agent’s ideas for showcasing different dating avenues, and he’ll pull in enough to help his sister’s non-profit women’s shelter get off the ground. Sure, his itinerary is starting to look strangely similar to his old rival Penny’s, but all’s fair in love and syndication, right? The more they look for love in all the wrong places, though, the more they start to wonder if it was right in front of their noses all along. Still, the brutal dating scene just might end them, if these two don’t kill each other first.

I have never been so glad to be out of the whole dating scene (by about 25yrs LOL) but I'd hate to be trying to find love in this digital age!

Penny and George have been rivals for a long time. They are both journalists and both hungry for success. But back when they started out they were actually friends. But promotion got in the way of friendship and now they are die-hard rivals! 

Penny has been voted the most single person in her company and has been set the assignment of trying out all the different ways to date. We're talking dating in the dark, speed dating, the whole shebang. But on her first experimental date, Penny runs into Geo, who has a similar assignment and the claws of one-upmanship are deployed! 

A slue of bad dates, funny and downright horrifying, ensue and the frenemies still spark off each other. As the tempers and tensions rise, so do the frissons of romance. But can Penny really trust the Geo wants her and not just the story?

Watching these two circling each other, whilst also trying to keep their distance was hilarious. There are several very funny moments and I enjoyed the book immensely. Great writing, witty putdowns and banter. With a cast of colourful supporting characters this makes an easy, comforting and happy read!
