About this listen

 A laugh-out-loud, forced proximity summer romance from MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh.

Do movie romances ever happen in real life...?

Frankie doesn't believe in true love. As relationships expert at popular magazine Stylife, she has learnt that dating disasters are far more common than happy ever afters.

So when she is tasked to find out if meet cutes can work in real life she is up for the challenge - but whether it's being a damsel in distress with a flat tyre, or spilling coffee over a stranger, she isn't convinced this can really lead to love.

But little does Frankie know that the ultimate meet cute opportunity is just around the corner. As she is whisked off her feet (all in the name of her work project of course...) perhaps true love isn't just for the movies after all...?

Join MULTI-MILLION-COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh for a laugh-out-loud, feel-good romantic comedy, guaranteed to whisk you away and put a smile on your face.

Previously published as *The Meet Cute *Method.**

Books by Portia Macintosh are like going on holiday. You really look forward to starting the book. You go on a journey & you love every minute. And then it comes to an end & you feel so sad.
This book was just like that holiday. It made me really laugh out loud. The story & characters were brilliant.
I would definitely recommend it.

Brilliant!!!

Totally loved it, and yes, it did make me laugh. A real feel-good, fun, and crazy main character. Thank you, Portia.

Great story for the most part and, as always, I really enjoy Portia Macintosh's sense of humour and Karen Cass' narration. The last couple of chapters were a bit disappointing for me though...

Not sure about the ending

I love Portia McIntosh's books. They are the perfect mix of funny and romantic. When Karen Cass does the narrative it gets even better. This book is definitely my favourite out of the books I've listened to so far. A credit well spent.

Another amazing book by Portia McIntosh
