By the brand new York Instances bestselling author who “hilariously depicts modern dating” (Us Weekly), THE BEST Half-Night Stand is a laugh-out-loud romp through internet dating and its many, many fails.

Millie Morris is definitely one of the men. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer professional who’s quick using a deflection joke and awful at getting personal. And she, just like her four very best guy friends and fellow professors, can be perma-single.

So when a regular university about My Favorite Half-Night Stand function becomes a black connect gala, Mille and her group make a pact that they’ll sign up for an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There’s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and among the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives jointly, but mutually decide the companionship will be better off purely platonic.

But online dating isn’t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential schedules, Millie’s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pictures and creepers. Enter “Catherine”—Millie’s imaginary profile persona, in whose make-believe sneakers she can be even more susceptible than she’s ever been in person. Shortly “Catherine” and Reid hit up an electronic pen-pal-ship…but Millie can’t resist temptation in true to life, either. Quickly, Millie must face her worst dread—intimacy—or risk dropping her best friend, forever.

Perfect for followers of Roxanne and She’s the Man, Christina Lauren’s latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, hijinks, and a vintage love tale with today’s twist. Funny and refreshing, you’ll wish to swipe right on My Favorite Half-Night Stand.
