The Start of a Complicated Love Story

In The Bookworm's Guide to Dating by Emma Hart, we meet Kinsley Lane, an introverted bookworm who is content with her life, her books, and her cat. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when her brother's best friend, Josh Carter, decides to play matchmaker for her. Josh, a charismatic and confident ladies' man, is the complete opposite of Kinsley. Despite her initial resistance, Kinsley agrees to let Josh set her up on a series of blind dates.

As Kinsley goes through these dates, she finds herself in a series of hilarious and awkward situations, from a disastrous salsa dancing class to an unfortunate incident involving a pet snake. Throughout it all, Josh is there, providing support and laughter. As Kinsley begins to enjoy the dates, she also starts to see Josh in a different light, realizing that her feelings for him might run deeper than she initially thought.
