Tess Hardy’s idea of wanting a Darcy-like hero sparks a single protagonist’s search across everyday places—from supermarkets and gyms to dating apps—only to encounter dismissive, unattractive, or damaging interactions. Date fatigue grows as judgment, rejection, and unrealistic standards accumulate, yet the story builds toward a hopeful next read and a longing for a true meet-cute, love, and a lasting happy ever after.","Dedicated to Kayleigh McKnight  \nThank you for trusting me with the keys to The Love Library.

It is too long ago.

They’re not in my local supermarket. I cruise the aisles hoping to meet eyes with a handsome stranger as he’s fondling avocados or selecting wine according to its vintage and taste notes rather than its alcohol content and competitive price point. I dream of some sophisticated and flirtatious banter as we both reach for the last posh sourdough loaf and before you know it, we’re enjoying a Dine In for Two promotion. But my dreams never come true and I have to make do with a basket of picky bits commonly known as ‘girl dinner ’.  \nThe good men are also not to be found in my gym. Instead, there are a lot of not-that-great men who hog the free weights, mansplain how to use the running machine that I’m already running on and make very unpleasant grunting sounds as they lift.  \nAnd the good men are most definitely not on the apps. The apps are full of very, very bad men who are always shorter, balder and a lot angrier than their profiles would suggest.  \nThere was the man who fancied himself as a crypto trader. When I asked if I should be investing in bitcoin or NFTs (because I give good date, I really do), it turned out he was talking about the Robux he earned from playing Roblox. I’ll spare you the details. When I politely declined a second date – the thought of more Roblox chat was giving me PTSD – he sent avery irate message asking for the money back he’d spent on treating me to asoymilk cappuccino and a brownie, and threatening","cbCaig1sV9AzmjMb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig1sV9AzmjMb","pdf",2973477,290,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Dedication\n## Title Page\n## Epigraph\n## Chapter One\n##
