Ginny’s wedding is a month away when an old psychic reading begins to trouble her. The fortune teller predicted three good things and three bad things for the year she turns 32. Ginny has little faith in predictions, but events begin to resemble the list closely enough to make her question her plans.

What makes it funny?
Wedding preparations give Ginny plenty to contend with before any prediction comes true. Her overpowering mother Celeste and a hen night supply comic trouble, while Ginny’s close friends keep up a stream of teasing conversation.
The comedy at work
Ginny tries to dismiss fortune telling among friends who take it seriously. Every apparent match with the predictions makes that position harder to maintain, giving the group more reasons to debate what she should do next.
Try this if…
The question of fate versus choice gives readers something to weigh alongside the romance. Friendship, a family business and Ginny’s efforts to become more assertive also matter to the story.
Good to know
The story includes controlling family dynamics, bullying and its lasting effects, and grief.
