50 Worst Dates

There are bad dates—and then there are disastrous ones

Canadian author Jane Laboucane has had her fair share of both. Meet the celebrity chef with kleptomania, the financial submissive with a desire to be dominated, the tech-worker with the ability to see dead people, and many more.

In this hilarious collection of vignettes, Laboucane navigates the perils of modern dating with laugh-out-loud tales of her quest to find “The One.” A refreshingly cheeky, fun-loving journey, 50 Worst Dates will make you think twice about swiping right on that good-looking guy and remind you that laughter is sometimes the best approach to love.
