Description
Don't miss Bella's next feel-good romcom, available to pre-order now!
One bad date too many calls for desperate measures . . .
Nora is well and truly fed up. After more painfully bad dates than she can count, she's had enough of leaving it to fate to find her perfect match - but she's not quite ready to give up on her love life just yet.
As a statistician, Nora trusts numbers more than her gut, so when she finds a formula that could help her conquer the dating game, she has to give it a go.
Putting her love theory to the test takes Nora to some questionable places with some even more questionable men, but she won't be deterred - she knows that 'the one' must be out there, somewhere. Even if he's the last person she'd have expected. . .

Reviews / Votes
So funny and warm, (NOT QUITE) Done With Dating has the most brilliant cast of characters, witty repartee, and such sparkling romance... I sped through it! * Laura Jane Williams * Follow the spreadsheet... or follow your heart? I loved Bella's funny, sparky tale of finding love amidst a sea of hideous dates and heartwarming friendships. A novel to put a huge smile on your face! * Fiona Gibson * Sweet, funny and so relatable... Charming, fabulous cast of characters, chuckle-inducing - another winner from Bella. * Milly Johnson * Warm, witty and full of fun; the quirky characters spring to life immediately and leave the reader wondering what they'll get up to next! * Celia Anderson * Many-layered characters bring this lovely story to life. Bella Osborne has a wonderful touch. * Sue Moorcroft * Full of quirky humour - great fun! * Katie Fforde * A gloriously quirky, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that shows there's a soulmate out there for everyone. * Phillipa Ashley * The perfect formula for an uplifting read! * Mandy Baggot * (Not Quite) Done With Dating is deliciously warm and funny romcom. I loved the beautifully-drawn Nora and her circle of friends. Renee had me laughing out loud. How nice to see an older character brimming with mischief and wisdom. I adore the uplifting mixture of comedy, sparkling wit and magnetic romance, with a few hilarious bad dates thrown in. And what a wonderful ending. The novel is so skilfully written. Bella is a master of her craft. She has become a new favourite. -- Judy Leigh * Judy Leigh *More details

Person
Bella has been jotting down stories for as long as she can remember and her first novel hit the shelves in 2015. Since then, she has written many bestselling and widely translated novels filled with heart, humour, and characters who, like most of us, are just trying to cope with what life throws at them. In 2022, she was thrilled to win the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year Award. She secretly wants to keep her readers up late at night reading just one more chapter.
Bella lives in Warwickshire, UK with her husband, daughter and rescue cat and her garden is home to many rehabilitated hedgehogs and one particularly cheeky squirrel. She loves planning with sticky notes, researching biscuits and listening to music in a bath that's only slightly cooler than the sun.
