The Setup by Lizzy Dent
3.0
A fun summer British romance featuring Mara, a young woman looking for love who thinks she's found the man for her when a fortune teller says the next man she meets will be the one. Enter Joe, a random guy who mistakes her for the fortune teller and who Mara tries to convince needs to come see her at the end of the summer.
What follows is a lot of pining after Joe, a mystery man she has no idea if she'll be compatible with to the detriment of the lovely man right in front of her. I did enjoy the secondary storyline where Mara helps save a local Lido (pool) in her English seaside village of Broadgate.
Perfect for fans of authors like Jenny Colgan and Libby Page or the book Meant to be mine by Hannah Orenstein. This was a little too fluffy/silly for my tastes but it is definitely a light hearted book to add to your summer beach reading if you just want some mindless entertainment. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.
