From Bethany Rutter comes a funny, heartfelt, and empowering rom-com about self-discovery, modern dating, and choosing the life—and love—you actually want.

Serena Mills is supposed to be getting married… but instead, she walks away from the “perfect” relationship everyone else thought she was lucky to have. Sitting in a roadside restaurant with wine and a sundae, she makes a bold decision: she’s going to find real love—on her own terms.

Setting herself a challenge of 52 weeks and 52 dates, Serena dives headfirst into the chaotic world of modern dating. But as awkward encounters, unexpected connections, and personal revelations pile up, she begins to realise that finding love might not be as simple as following a plan.

Because sometimes the most important relationship to figure out… is the one you have with yourself.

Warm, witty, and refreshingly honest, this story is as much about self-worth and growth as it is about romance.
