Dating App Diaries

Alice Weber is excellent in a crisis.

As a boutique hotel manager, she can calm furious guests, rescue ruined weddings, locate missing garment bags, and smile through disasters that would send most people into a supply closet with emergency chocolate. What she cannot seem to do is go on a normal date.

After one last swipe on the Maybe dating app, Alice agrees to five dates, one final attempt to prove modern romance is not entirely powered by red flags, group texts, and men with suspiciously strong opinions.

There is Graham, who brings a folder of restaurant discounts to dinner. Levi, who turns a date into an immersive murder-mystery performance Alice never agreed to join. Clay, whose apartment has room for every houseplant except an actual girlfriend. Devon, who mistakes Alice's competence for an unpaid customer-service hotline. And Logan, who might be different-except everyone in Alice's life seems a little too invested in choosing him for her.

With her best friend Zoe acting as emotional counsel, snack provider, and occasional romantic threat assessor, Alice begins writing her own dating rules. The more disastrous the dates become, the clearer one thing gets: Alice is not a backup plan, a rescue mission, a convenience, or someone else's good idea.

She is allowed to want more.

Dating App Diaries: One Last Swipe is a warm, witty contemporary romantic comedy about bad dates, best friends, boundaries, and the terrifying joy of choosing your own happy ending.
