About this listen
Is true love just a few dates away... or even closer than you think?
Tom has always been a hopeless romantic: but now he's just hopeless. After lockdown in particular made the millennial a reclusive introvert, it was finally time to get back 'out there' – at least according to his best friends Adam, Allison and sister Sarah.
As the group sets up 10 dates to rejuvenate Tom's love life, he soon realises how difficult the dating scene has become, along with juggling his Shakespearean-themed cafe and a hobby of romantic mixtape making.
As some of the dates turn into disasters, an old flame keeps reappearing in Tom's sight – along with bitter-sweet memories. Fearing it may be too little too late, Tom must decide whether he can date his way to happiness, or find his true match was under his nose the whole time...
Gordon is a former journalist writing about media and technology. He now works in marketing for Twitter UK. He has also blogged about dating and politics. He has published two novels: Songs For Your Mother (2021) and Ten Dates to Happiness (2022).

Story
Luc O'Donnell is tangentially - and reluctantly - famous. His rock-star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next 20 years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and someone who has never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. He’s perfect boyfriend material.

After all, could he have spent his life with someone who has a bad record collection?

And Rob begins to think that life with kids, marriage, barbecues, and soft-rock CDs might not be so bad.

Not what I was expecting…

By: Matt Dunn
Unfortunately, there are glitches in the recording that make it so you can't even listen to the story because it skips entire important conversations and events. chapter 19 is missing most of what was going on, and it's really frustrating. I will definitely come back to finish it if this is fixed, but sadly as it is I have no desire to finish listening.
glitches made it un-listenable
