Practice Makes Perfect

By: Clodagh Murphy

Narrated by: Becky Skarsgaard

A brilliantly funny, charming book from Clodagh Murphy, perfect for fans of Catherine Walsh and Marian Keyes.

Claire Kennedy is the anonymous voice behind a wildly popular sex blog – smart, sassy, and always up for an adventure.... Or so her fans think.

In reality, Claire is quiet, bookish, and hasn't been on a date in over a year. But when Mark – the charming publisher she's been flirting with online – suggests they meet in real life, the fantasy risks falling apart.

Mark is offering everything Claire's ever wanted: an actual relationship, a hot book deal, and a foot in the door of London's literary scene. There's just one problem – she needs dating experience, fast.

Enter Luca: laid-back, infuriating, and annoyingly attractive. He agrees to help Claire with some very hands-on research... as long as she doesn't get the wrong idea. He's not boyfriend material – and this is strictly practice.

But as sparks fly and lines blur, Claire starts to wonder: Can the rough draft end up being better than the real thing?
