Two best friends. Eight pub quizzes. One shot at love...
There are some people who seem like they have all the answers in life. Clarrie Midwinter isn't one of them.
At the age of 26, tomboy Clarrie is still struggling to become a 'proper' grown-up. She's eternally strapped for cash, she hasn't had a date in nearly a year and her attempts to quit smoking tend to take a nosedive after the second pint. Most annoyingly of all, her ladykiller best friend Simon just won't stop asking her out. The only thing keeping her sane is her pub quiz team, the Mighty Morphin Flower Arrangers.
But when Simon bets her a date their team will win the quiz league, Clarrie is forced to confront what she really wants out of life – and love. Is it finally time for her to grow up?
Gloriously irreverent, badly behaved romantic comedy from the author of Meet Me at the Lighthouse.

I adore quizzes and I love this authors works, so combined this was a fabulous book for me.
Featuring a local quiz league Clarrie and her friends are determined to win this year, as there is the outcome of a big bet riding on it.
The connection between Si and Clarrie is obvious to everyone apart from Clarrie and at times I wanted to knock some sense into her, to see the obvious.
I loved the whole group of friends, and seeing their dynamic at play.
And their competitiveness was amusing to see too. I loved the various quiz questions and can't help but wonder how much research was done in the compilation of the quiz snippets seen.
Filled with great humour, really relatable to character and loads more besides, A Question of Us is another fantastically enjoyable story from Mary Jayne Baker.
Thank you to Netgalley and Aria for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
