Bookroo's summary

Rory and Jillian, thirteen-year-old twins, are on a mission to find their dad a new love after their mother's passing. Despite their father's reluctance, they create an online dating profile for him. As each date turns into a comedic disaster, the twins wonder if the perfect match is closer than they imagined. Can they navigate the chaos and find happiness for their dad, or is the answer already in their lives? This engaging tale offers humor and heart for middle-grade readers seeking a quick, entertaining read.

From the publisher

Before Rory and Jillian’s mother died two years ago, she hired Rebecca to be the family housekeeper. But Rebecca is a terrible cook and not so great at housework either. The weird lunches and laundry disasters drive the twins crazy. One day Jillian catches her father flirting with Rebecca and decides it’s time to find him a girlfriend. Rory disagrees. But eventually he goes along with the idea, and they create a profile for their father on an online dating site. Dad is very reluctant, but Jillian gets him to agree to go on three dates before giving up. Each date turns out to be more disastrous than the last.

Will Rory and Jillian manage to find their dad the perfect match? Or was the answer right in front of them the whole time?
