Thirteen days. Twelve dates. One very distracting roommate.

Daisy Whitaker has exactly thirteen days to find a plus-one for her brother’s Christmas wedding. Her plan? Twelve dates in less than two weeks. Yes, it’s ridiculous. No, she’s not taking feedback at this time.

Her roommate-slash-best-friend-slash-occasional-fling, Finn Parker, is strictly off the roster. Not because she isn’t attracted to him—she is, which is exactly the problem—but because their casual thing has “no strings” written all over it in permanent marker. And she’s trying to be… responsible now. The kind of person who dates grown-ups who own throw pillows and have five-year plans.

But between snowstorms, bad small talk, and Finn’s irritatingly hot tattoos, Daisy’s twelve-date experiment might turn out to be less about finding the right guy and more about wondering if the best love stories start with someone who already knows your coffee order.
