WELL MAYBE JUST A LITTLE!
Cassandra never set out to be a psychic, least of all a famous one, with her very own magazine column and a glamorous TV slot thrown in for good measure. Let's face it, it's not exactly the usual career choice a girl might make, now is it? But whether she likes it or not, ever since Cassandra was a little girl she's been able to see into the future.
While she can make predictions with 100% accuracy for everyone around her, her psychic gift floats right out the window whenever there's a D.S.M. (decent single man) around that she actually fancies herself especially when that D.S.M happens to be her hot, new TV producer boss...
It seems even being able to foretell the future can't protect Cassandra from what destiny has in store. And sometimes fate won't let you look before you love...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cassandra, a Dublin magazine columnist, has three best friends and an unlucky love life, a familiar setup that author Carroll (Remind Me Again Why I Need a Man) shakes up with a whimsical device: her likable, humorous chick lit narrator is psychic but no believer in the occult. Cassie's involuntary "flashes," as she calls them, usually involve the love lives of strangers, but when she catches a glimpse of her own romantic future, Cassie's mystified to discover that her "fabulously wealthy" best friend Charlene is dating the man of her visions. Caught among fate, friendship and the rare possibility of fulfilling romance, Cassie struggles mightily with her desire and guilt, though readers will find the choice between unsympathetic Charlene a disagreeable comic misfire and dream guy a no-brainer. Carroll gives Cassie enough wit and charm to make up for a hackneyed media world setting and grating details egregious puns ("a black belt in tongue-fu"), Manolo Blahniks, evil bosses making this an exercise in pure (if predictable) chick lit fun.
