About this ebook
*** CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS AUTHOR OF THE YEAR 2022***
Lucy Sullivan's been told she is getting married . . . but to who? Discover the uplifting, laugh-out-loud story of a reluctant wrestle with fate, from the No. 1 bestselling author of Grown Ups
'Keyes is in a class of her own' DAILY EXPRESS
___________
'I was still at that stage in my life when I thought that weekdays were for recovering from the weekend'
Twenty-six year old Lucy Sullivan is living it up (and occasionally down) in London.
Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified.
For the fortune teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact.
Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim. Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober.
Is Lucy's fate really written in the stars?
Or will she finally take control of her own destiny? . . .
___________
'One of those rare books that will swallow up your day without realising it. Romantic and uplifting, it won't fail to put a smile on your face' Daily Express
'Gloriously funny' Sunday Times
'A warm and hilarious page turner' Good Housekeeping
'A modern fairy tale, it's full of Keyes's self-deprecating wit' Sunday Mirror
Winner of 'Author of the Year' at the British Book Awards May 2022

I'm a big fan of Marian Keyes but this book just wasn't up to her usual standards. It's one of her earlier works, and it just felt predictable. The characters weren't very well developed, and most were very unlikeable. I also wasn't a fan of the way it all wrapped up and nor did I find it especially funny, like her prose usually is.
