Laugh-out-loud funny and perfectly observed, No Such Thing As Perfect tells the story a woman who signs up to a dating service with a difference. For fans of Dolly Alderton and Holly Bourne.

'I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud, I was rooting for Laura from the first page. Tender, funny, smart and brilliantly observed. The perfect blend of uplifting escapism and social satire, an utter page turner and such a clever, perceptive moving one. I LOVED it!' DAISY BUCHANAN

Laura Morrison's love life is far from perfect...

...

In fact, she's all but given up on finding The One.

But then she gets the chance to trial a new dating service that will draw on everything she's ever done online to find her perfect match, and figures it's got to be worth a try.

Laura can't believe her luck when good-looking, kind, considerate Adam turns up for their first date. On paper he's...well...perfect.

Only now she's developing feelings for the person who led her to her ""match"" in the first place. Should she trust her instincts when it comes to who might really be Mr Right, even if it means proving the formula wrong?

Sharply-observed and laugh-out-loud funny, NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT is the perfect novel for anyone who has ever wondered if there's a formula for finding love.

'Brimming with wit and razor sharp observations' SOPHIE COUSENS, author of This Time Next Year

'Poignant, warm and very, very clever, this is perfect for anyone who thinks they're the only one without the answers. I felt vindicated and lifted after I'd read it!' LAURA JANE WILLIAMS

'I ADORED it! Fast, funny, relatable and super uplifting, with a genius premise and a loveable lead character I was hugely invested in. Every page had me hooked' HELLY ACTON

'I absolutely raced through No Such Thing As Perfect by the brilliant Emma Hughes. Hilarious, tender and oh so relatable, with a cracking cast of characters AND an adorable doggo' BETHANY CLIFT

'A fresh, funny, sexy tale of dating woes, family expectations, technological adventure, and loyal friendships, this book will make your world a brighter place' KATHERINE HEINY

'It is so funny (properly laugh-out-loud funny) and smart and full of characters I feel like I know' LAURA KAY

'Whip-smart on relationships, especially the trickiest of family dynamics, all so tenderly and charmingly drawn too' ABBIE GREAVES

'An absolute cracker' JUSTIN MYERS
