"Lucy Sullivan is getting married... Or is she?
Lucy doesn't even have a boyfriend. (To be honest, she isn't that lucky in love.) But Mrs. Nolan - a local psychic - has read her tarot cards and predicted that Lucy will be walking down the aisle within the next year.
Lucy's roommates, Karen and Charlotte, are appalled at the news. If Lucy leaves, it could disrupt their wonderful lifestyle of eating take-out, drinking too much wine, bringing men home and never vacuuming. And there's that small matter of no boyfriend. But then she meets Gus - gorgeous, reliable Gus. And she starts to wonder if he could be the future Mr. Lucy Sullivan. Or could it be the handsome Chuck? Or Daniel, the world's biggest flirt?
Maybe the idea of Lucy Sullivan getting married isn't so unlikely after all..."

Two weeks! It took me two weeks to finish this book, which can hardly be considered normal seeing that it's chick-lit, unless the book is as annoying and boring as this one. Most of the characters in these books aren't really that bright but, come on, Lucy is just too much. How can she have not realized that her father was an alcoholic? Why did she have such anger towards her mother? How could she let Karen abuse her like that? And let's not talk about Daniel! Was the ending predictable or what? I really do hope that Marian Keyes' other books are much better than this one, or I won't want to read any of them! :-s
