A decade-defining romcom from beloved Vogue dating columnist Annie Lord


When Daisy wakes up next to James – the annoying black sheep of their friendship group – she can’t believe what she’s done.

The problem is there are no good men left. At least, that’s what Daisy and her best friend Maya think. They’re all taken. Even the average ones have beautiful, seemingly perfect girlfriends.

Fed up with modern dating, Daisy and Maya decide to start 'The Project' to create a good guy out of some frankly embarrassing raw material. And who better to start with than James, the man who once told her he's never cried in his entire life and sounded proud of that fact?

Embarking on a series of lessons, from pretentious art exhibitions to feminist book clubs, clothes shopping trips and messy house parties, Daisy takes James on a journey of discovery. But which one of them will change more?

Critic reviews

Delicious… the sort of sticky, summery book you’ll want to curl up with. Funny, tender and insightful, The Project cracks open the dynamics and dilemmas inherent to modern heterosexual dating and will have you pondering deeply as well as laughing
Raw, funny and sexy. When Harry Met Sally for the club smoking area. Nora Ephron if she loved ketamine and sambuca (Róisín Lanigan, author of I WANT TO GO HOME BUT I'M ALREADY THERE)
A joyful novel which shoots for the heart (Nicola Dinan, author of BELLIES)
