What if there really was a formula for finding love? My first novel, No Such Thing As Perfect, was published in August 2021 by Century. It’s a romantic comedy about love and technology, the mysteries of attraction, and navigating a world of twos when you’re a one. There’s also a dog in it. Sounds like it might be up your street? Read on… (You can buy it at all these places too!) Nobody’s life is as perfect as it looks – and least of all Laura Morrison's. (Although she's not sure how perfect hanging onto your job by a thread and sleeping on an air mattress at your sister's looks, in all honesty.) When Laura gets the chance to trial Cupid – a high-tech new dating service which will draw on everything she's ever done online to find her perfect match – she figures it's got to be worth a try. She can't believe her luck when good-looking, kind considerate Adam turns up for their first date. On paper he's...well...perfect. But when Laura develops feelings for the person who led her to Adam in the first place, familiar doubt creeps in. Maybe for life to start falling into place, Laura has to learn to let go... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/ad2d70ae-5f04-49a1-be36-4775982555f2/It%27s+Complicated%2C+Lifestyle+Asset+1.png Books - Dee Jensen’s life is about to get complicated… My second novel, It’s Complicated, came out in July 2023 with Century. Like No Such Thing As Perfect, it’s a romantic comedy – but it’s also about fertility, first love and the families that we find along the way. It features a cat called Ronnie Biggs and what I think are probably some of my best jokes, and is available to buy at all these places. Thirty-four-year-old Dee’s world gets turned upside down when she's told by her doctor that if she wants to start a family she needs to get on with it – fast. The problem is, her almost-definitely boyfriend Nat has almost-definitely just broken up with her. At the same time she's trying to keep her two best friends happy, parenting her own parents and attempting to escape from a job that pays her in burritos. Could platonic co-parenting – where two friends have a child together with no romantic connection – be the easy answer? Dee finds herself suggesting the idea to Andy, a man she’s only just met. In the cold light of day he doesn't find it as laughable as she does... But will feelings surface along the way? And, in her heart of hearts, does Dee even want a baby? http://www.emmahughes.net/photos daily 0.75 2021-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664967090-QP4LYC2S922EWLCHPVRM/20180325-Mississippi+4.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664945579-XUCZKS1YB9NNQAQY9WHV/20180327-The+Grilled+Cheese+Grill+3.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1738846803936-5LJKZWFQ6LLA0WE90HRJ/P1050498.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1738846730827-VRKKEAHI5U3XZATNV73U/P1050429.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665021878-JBE6NQ0H4DUFO965UTDW/20180326-Kenny+and+Zuke%27s+2.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664572922-IN516TRJUAMAZK40W9K2/2+Rue+de+Nil+1.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664447115-6H7AJ76PRI7EPYLVNDRA/Cait+Edit.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1738846905027-JRBI06CQO4X39BLNVLMD/P1050476.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665025917-8L6GUK8ZS6WUDPULSFCI/20180327-Food+Truck+4.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665450761-DWKQRHABMXYXLXYEHIKI/_1040623.JPG Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665247915-O5LK7MSIUO7KG3582FK6/_1020918.JPG Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664549744-GXG7NTKL6FH7D3WWT53S/8+Frenchie+To+Go+1.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665021997-SU4NO8CQAAR5N6VIU6PW/20180326-Clyde+Common+2.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664588205-Y6ERSN9LU7S9WWYEXGT3/17+Gilles+and+Greg+2.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665196208-VNZXDKLNWWRD3GSLV9PH/_1010994.JPG Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611664964727-YHVP80HZ6447NT4F0P44/20180325-Doug+Fir+1.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1738846581708-BYQ2ELQ62GE9QFSJY2RW/P1050439.JPG Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665344907-767SKIILJXWAV38876VI/Tea+Room+2.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1738846879420-UVTS7KYT232XAJE1SKU6/P1050453.jpg Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665197567-BYMR55RZP5WH0UW1DHY8/_1020088.JPG Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665444730-N26O0CWD28X71XP4B598/_1040616.JPG Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/1611665291621-QZA602CLN7IUANE0GW1P/_1020970.jpg Photos http://www.emmahughes.net/about daily 0.75 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53524858e4b0c64d5e6d1de0/759d780d-82dd-4201-a7b7-7c9c59bcff7f/cm17_emma_hughes_egg_freezing.jpg About - Hello! I'm a London-based author and journalist. If I'm not tapping away at a keyboard, I'm probably taking something out of the oven. Or eating it. My first novel No Such Thing As Perfect was published by Century in 2021. It was shortlisted for the 2019 Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize and the Spotlight First Novel Competition. My second novel, It’s Complicated, is out now, also with Century. I studied English at the University of Cambridge a very long time ago, Creative Writing at the University of Manchester slightly more recently, and Screenwriting at Curtis Brown Creative after that. My short story ‘The Match Factory’ won The London Magazine Short Story Competition in 2016. As a journalist I mostly cover food and books, but I’ve also written about everything from relationship advice on Reddit to romantic comedies, running a wine marathon and applying to join MI5. I've written for the Guardian, Time Out, Waitrose Food, Country Life, the Telegraph, Wired, ES, Grazia, British Vogue, Condé Nast Traveller and lots of other places. I’m currently Country Life’s London restaurant columnist. You can read some of my work here, and have a look at my photography here. I'm on Instagram as @emmahughes86; follow me for pictures of cakes, books and other people’s pets.
