Fresh Fiction Review

I Never Fancied Him Anyway

Imagine being able to see into the future and tell exactly what's going to happen. For everyone, but yourself. That is Cassandra's predicament. She has a wonderful psychic gift that she has worked into a nice job at a tabloid newspaper, answering people's questions, mostly about their love lives. But she can't see diddly about her own romantic intentions. And for the most part, she is satisfied with that. She enjoys her job, for the most part, and she has great friends, Charlene and Jo, who have been her buddies since childhood.

But Cassandra's life is turned topsy-turvy when Charlene manages to snag her a spot on a local morning TV show, being produced by Charlene's new love interest, Jack. Only one problem. Whenever Cassandra comes around Jack, she loses all her abilities to see anything in the future. Except for one tiny speck of Jack being happy with...not Charlene, but with Cassandra herself!

Torn between wanting to remain loyal to her friend, or to pursue a chance at love, Cassandra shoots through so many ups and downs, ins and outs trying avoid conflict that she manages to find it at every turn. Sometimes having a gift isn't a gift at all!

In her new book, I NEVER FANCIED HIM ANYWAY, Irish author Claudia Carroll delivers a hysterically funny story that will keep her readers in stitches. Think of an Irish "Bridget Jones" with psychic abilities and a lot more brain power, and you have Carroll's main character, Cassandra. I found this book a delight to read, and upon reading that it's been optioned for a movie, I look forward to seeing the story played out on the big screen.

SUMMARY

Cassandra can see the future with 100% accuracy . . . for everybody except herself.

Ever since Cassandra was a little girl, she's had a remarkable psychic gift. Now a successful columnist for a weekly magazine, she predicts the future with uncanny precision. And thanks to her stunning co-worker Charlene—and the latest love of Charlene's life, hot television producer Jack—Cassandra's moving up . . . to daytime TV!

The trouble is, whenever Jack's around, the hapless seer's second sight goes dim—something that always seems to happen when a desirable single male is around. But despite a truly abysmal dating record, she believes Jack is the one for her . . . though Charlene might strongly disagree. Is true love or outrageous catastrophe right around the corner? Cassandra doesn't have a clue. But it seems even being able to foretell the future can't protect her from what destiny has in store . . . and sometimes fate won't allow you to look before you love.

Delightfully warm, odd, and unforgettable, Claudia Carroll's I Never Fancied Him Anyway is a quirky and hilarious story of seeing . . . and believing.
