‘If Jane Austen and Kevin Kwan had a love child, it might well be Lucie Yi Is Not A Romantic’ – Jodi Picoult

‘Funny as heck but also real and relatable, Lucie Yi Is Not A Romantic redefines the romcom’ – Red

Lucie Yi has tried love – it didn’t work.

She’s decided that finding Mr Right is a myth and that finding Mr Right-enough-to-have-children-with is the next best option. So when she meets easy-going Collin Read on a platonic co-parenting website, it finally feels like she has found her version of happily ever after.

But things take a turn for the worse when they move back home to Singapore where her very traditional family and remorseful ex-fiancé await.

With pressure mounting on all sides and her perfect plan unravelling, Lucie has to decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for a chance at happiness – and maybe, just maybe, love.
