This Is Not A Date: Romantic Comedy

Sophie Reynolds is newly single.Her friends have opinions.Unfortunately, they also have competitive instincts.What begins as a well-intentioned attempt to get Sophie dating again quickly becomes a full-blown matchmaking competition-with rules, candidates, debriefs, and far more organization than anyone's romantic life should reasonably require.Rachel is lovely. Marcus is promising. Claire is fun. Natalie might actually be perfect.There's just one problem.Sophie keeps wanting to talk to Erin.Erin, her best friend of eleven years. Erin, who somehow knows exactly what Sophie needs before Sophie does. Erin, who insists she is merely administering the competition while becoming increasingly invested in the results. Erin, who conducts suspiciously date-like "research," remembers everything Sophie says, and is definitely, absolutely, unquestionably not a candidate.Probably.As Sophie's friends become increasingly suspicious and the competition gets harder to explain, Sophie begins to wonder whether the person she's been trying to find has been sitting beside her all along.But recognizing what you want is one thing.Risking the friendship you can't imagine living without is another.This Is Not a Date is a funny, warm, slow-burn contemporary romantic comedy about competitive matchmaking, accidental dates, bisexuality, best friends, terrible rules, questionable research methods, and discovering that sometimes everyone else figures out who you love before you do.
