Swipe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798387674297)

In SWIPE, A.V. Francis delves into the intricacies of modern dating through the eyes of Vicky, a 26-year-old woman who's never had a boyfriend and is determined to change her romantic fate. Tired of being single, Vicky turns to the dating app Plenty of Fish in one last attempt to find love. After three months of dating Sanjay, a man she met on the app, Vicky is torn - does she truly love him, or is she simply caught in the tangled web of a modern situationship?

As she navigates the highs and lows of digital-age romance, Vicky embarks on a personal journey of self-discovery, questioning what she really wants from love, sex, and life. Alongside her supportive sister Antonia and a close-knit group of friends, each grappling with their own relationship struggles, Vicky learns that the path to love is just as much about understanding herself as it is about finding the right partner.

Inspired by the author's own experiences as a young woman of colour grappling with both dating and mental health, SWIPE offers a candid, humorous, and deeply honest exploration of love, friendship, and personal growth. With its heartfelt tone and relatable narrative, this novel captures the messy, beautiful reality of searching for connection in a world full of fleeting moments and endless swipes.
