Do you believe in soulmates?

Aiden does. So when his colleague, Jen, is dumped unceremoniously by her dreadful boyfriend, Aiden decides to take matters - and Jen's life - into his own hands.

Scouring the internet for a suitable partner for Jen, Aiden finds Tom. He'd be perfect for Jen apart from one minor detail: Tom lives in New York.

Luckily for Jen and Tom, Aiden's not just an interfering colleague. In fact, Aiden isn't exactly human - he's a very complicated artificial intelligence.

As Jen and Tom's romance grows, Aiden begins to take more and more risks to make sure that they can be together. But what will happen if they realise how they met...and that somebody else is pulling the strings?

Reviews for Happiness for Humans: the quirky romantic comedy for anyone looking for their soulmate

One of the most unique love stories ever written, this novel blends the ethereal concepts of true love and fate with a thoughtful examination of the risks and worries of artificial intelligence. * RT Book Reviews * Humans meets The Rosie Project . . . A real smiler of a book -- Nina Pottell * Prima * One of the most uplifting and romantic novels I've read in a long time -- Sarra Manning * Red magazine * This screwball comedy is touching and hilarious * Sunday Mirror * Bridget Jones' diary for the digital age * Daily Record * A sweet romantic comedy that asks what it really means to be happy (and also takes a gentle look at the scary idea of technology taking over our lives) * Stylist * A smart, warm fiction and the ultimate curl-up read... the most charming book I've read in ages * Image * You'll love this quirky, brilliantly funny love story... If you use Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant, prepare to have your heart warmed - and be a little bit scared! * Fabulous * A frothy rom-com in literary form...a broad and madcap love story...charming * Kirkus Reviews * A sort of Shakespearean comedy of errors but instead of the gods there are rogue AIs seeking to meddle in the affairs of humans. Great fun. * The Bookseller * It's refreshing to read such a positive, funny and warm story about the potential of artificial intelligence. These computer programs don't want to destroy humanity, they want to watch soppy films and help people fall in love. This is Jane Austen's Emma for the digital era. -- Keith Stuart, bestselling author of A Boy Made of Blocks Very clever and great fun -- Kate Eberlen, bestselling author of Miss You So funny, clever and timely. I loved it. -- Martha Kearney
