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.
