Lucy Sullivan is a depressed, single, twentysomething Londoner with two roommates and a boring office job. Then, a fortune-teller predicts that within the next year Lucy will get married—a laugh for Lucy who is so woefully unlucky at love. Whom would she marry?

VERDICT As with Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary (1996), readers will root for the spirited Lucy in her humorous, occasionally heart-wrenching, and ultimately heartwarming adventures to find love.
