What to say on a first date?
Back pain in your mid-20s normal?

Meet Maddie Wright.

She wants to date men who her mother wouldn’t like.
She wants to stand up to her boss – once and for all.

This is a story of heartbreak, friendship, and breaking the rules – it’s a book that will leave you feeling braver than you were when you started.
