The Lonely Hearts Trivia Night

Five lonely strangers join a bar trivia team in an effort to find friends, but end up on a path that will change each of their lives forever, in this heartwarming debut perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Sophie Kinsella.

How do you make friends as an adult? That's one question lonely Londoners Bryony, Harry, Jaime, Luke, and Donna would really like the answer to. They tend to do better with questions of a different variety--trivia questions like How did prosecco get its name? and Which Mariah Carey song has topped the charts in twenty-six countries?

In an effort to meet new people, the five not-yet-friends answer an ad seeking members of a bar trivia team--the Red Hot Quizzy Peppers. As the weeks go on, the disparate band of unhappy strangers becomes swept up in both the buzz of winning and the way quiz nights start to bond them together in friendship . . . to the detriment of other parts of their lives.

Despite all odds, the Quizzy Peppers might just have a shot at making the London Pub Quiz League's Grand Final, if only they can get past the Golden Girls, the Banana Splits, and the Bombay Bad Boys.

Utterly charming and uplifting, The Lonely Hearts Trivia Night is a story of finding friendship, love, confidence, and purpose--just right for fans of Jennifer Weiner.
