In Behaving Like Adults, Maxted introduces us to 29-year-old Holly: the sunny, optimistic owner of Girl Meets Boy, a dating service for those who are "beautiful inside and out." She's ambitious -- and successful -- with her matchmaking skills, but hasn't quite fulfilled her own relationship dreams. So when her friends dare her to pick a man off the top of the pile, she's game.

But on one awful evening, the perfect-on-paper Stuart turns out to be a thorough cad, and Holly's belief in the goodness of humanity takes a hit. How can she make good matches when she can't trust her ability to read people? What does this mean for her business -- and her romantic future? Holly's friends and colleagues are drawn into a rueful and hilarious drama, while Holly learns her most important lesson: to trust herself.

Quick, funny, and honest, Behaving Like Adults is the newest delight from a writer whose following is devoted -- and growing daily.
