Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us

An utterly compelling, massively relatable and completely entertaining trip through modern romance. The beauty of Taylor-Dior's writing is how brilliantly it centres personal growth as well as emotional vulnerability. I devoured it!

Sareeta Domingo, author of If I Don't Have You and Who's Loving You

A book that bridges the gap between Bridget Jones and Insecure, this is one fresh summer romcom we can't wait to read!

A novel that perfectly captures the messiness of modern dating.

Taylor-Dior Rumble has managed to capture the modern dilemma of an undefined romance.

The best rom-com I've read in a very long time. The novel explores finding yourself in your twenties amongst unclear relationships that I know many will find relatable and utterly compelling.' Sara Jafari, author of The Mismatch and People Change

A deliciously South-East London rom-com - raw, hopeful, relatable and perfectly captures the at-times aching frustrations and subtleties of a classic situationship. A reminder to always love yourself.

Fun, fresh, and endlessly relatable, this is the most empowering rom-com of 2023. Run don't walk to get a copy!

Warm, intimate and often hilarious, Rumble is a brilliant and distinctive storyteller. The Situationship marks a bold new voice. I was hooked from start to finish.

A relatable, fun and refreshing read. Loved every page of it!

When the love of her life shows up with a girlfriend, Tia decides it's time to put herself out there. 
 
Expectations of dating apps are low, so it's a surprise when she instantly connects with handsome photographer Nate. He's everything she's looking for; he makes her feel safe, seen, and desired. 
 
Tia assumes they're on the same page - the only catch? They're yet to have The Talk. 
 
In a generation that's normalised competing over who cares the least, can Tia overcome her fears and lay her cards on the table, in the pursuit of something real?
