How to Date a Feminist
A hilarious new spin on the Hollywood romcom featuring two proposals, two weddings, an elopement and a cast of unforgettable characters.
Kate likes her men tall, dark and smouldering. She has a fatal attraction to bad men. Then she meets Steve…
Steve is a feminist.
Can Kate overcome her love of lipstick, cupcakes and Heathcliff? Can Steve forgo the ethical confetti and learn to be a little bit more ravishing in bed? Can the two of them reinvent romance for the twenty-first century?
