When Hazel—gloriously chaotic, refreshingly unfiltered, and occasionally disastrous—reconnects with Josh after years of friendship, they decide the best way to move on from their respective romantic disasters is to play wingwoman and wingman for each other. But as they embark on a hilarious parade of terrible double blind dates (complete with all the awkwardness you'd expect), the line between "just friends" and something much more starts to seriously blur. Josh finds himself oddly bothered by Hazel's dating escapades, and Hazel realizes that the one person who actually gets her might be the one she's been looking at all wrong. This is a warm, funny, utterly charming friends-to-lovers story about two people who are so busy setting each other up with the wrong people that they almost miss what's been there all along.
