A hilarious and romantic novel about bad dates, perpetual optimism and what it's really like to be a single girl in the big city It's bad enough to be perpetually single, without also being the dating journalist for a major lifestyle website. And Genie Havisham has just been set her toughest deadline yet- find a boyfriend by Christmas or find a new job. Determined not to end the year alone and jobless, Genie sets out to find where all the eligible bachelors in London have been hiding, using whatever means possible. But among the terrible dates, one night stands and the unexpected return of her 'supposedly reformed' ex-boyfriend, could Genie have overlooked what's been right under her nose all along
Jenny Stallard is a writer and editor who worked her way from cub reporter at a local newspaper to magazine features and is now Commissioning Editor on the features team at commuter paper Metro. It was at Metro she wrote her own column, 'Boyfriend By Christmas', which, while it ended with her 'single and happy', generated the idea for her first novel- Boyfriend by Christmas. (Jenny's much happier with a book than a boyfriend anyway).
