Lucy Sullivan is getting married - Marian Keyes

When Lucy Sullivan is dragged by her friends Meredia, Megan and Hetty to visit a fortune-teller, she is not only one hundred per cent skint, but also one hundred per cent sceptical. Even when she’s told it’s quite literally on the cards that she’ll be married within the year, Lucy is still less than impressed.

For a start, a winter wedding is not exactly what she had in mind. And her flatmates are definitely against any possible change in their blissful routine of takeaways, wine, and men, happily rebellious in their unvacuumed flat. There’s also Lucy’s argumentative mother and irresponsible father to look out for. And of course the lack of a prospective spouse is a bit of a drawback.

But when the fortune-teller’s predictions for Meredia, Megan and Hetty start to come true at an alarming rate, Lucy’s marital status becomes the subject of much speculation. Then Lucy meets gorgeous, unreliable Gus, and even she starts to wonder… But there’s also Chuck, the handsome American; Daniel, the world’s biggest flirt; and Jed, the new boy at work. Could one of these really be the future Mr Lucy Sullivan?
