The Meet Cute - The must-read hilarious, heartwarming and uplifting debut Irish rom-com for 2025!

Compulsively readable, absolutely hilarious and utterly uplifting, discover Ireland's hottest new voice in romance.

Dumped, jobless, and now the last of her friends to have kids, Cassie is learning that there's no time like the present to start again . . .

Everyone knows you don't end a relationship over text. Well, except Gavin the man-child, it seems. When his message arrives after yet another failed audition, Cassie knows there's only one place she wants to be . . . back home in Dublin, with her Mam bringing her endless cups of tea.

But on the first day of her new dog-walking gig, she's flattened by the Hound of the Baskervilles himself. Flat on her back in the mud, and thinking she's not capable of further mortification, Cass knows she's truly hit rock bottom.

But maybe this is the miracle she's been waiting for. Because, from where she's standing (okay, lying), the owner of this giant mutt is actually pretty cute.

And it turns out, not only is Finn extremely cute, but he's charming and sweet and, over apology coffee, actually seems to listen?

It could be a great story to tell the grandkids one day, but even after the perfect meet cute, Cassie realises that the path to true love is never straightforward . . .

She's just met the perfect man, but will they get the happy-ever-after they deserve?

A heartwarming, relatable and laugh-out-loud story perfect for anyone who loves Bridget Jones, or books by Mhairi McFarlane, Beth Moran, and Maxine Morrey.
