A psychic tells Mara she’ll meet a man, Mara then immediately misrepresents herself (as the psychic) to the next man she sees to tell him he’ll meet the woman of his dreams in August, in the town where she lives, and named Mara (shocker). Then we go on her whole journey (via the aptly named horoscope-inspired “Project Mara”) trying to change everything about herself so when the guy gets there at the end of summer, he what…doesn’t think she’s a loser? Maybe along the way she finds herself a therapist and realizes she doesn’t need to change herself for some rando she catfished in a shop but I couldn’t force myself to finish this one and find out.
Really did love Lizzy Dent’s previous book, The Summer Job, though!
