Unpredictable
Sophie will go to great lengths to win back her ex-boyfriend Doug. While spying on him, she finds out that his new girlfriend, Melanie, plans to attend a psychic fair. Coincidently, Sophie meets Nick, a professor and member of a skeptic community devoted to defrauding psychics. Nick teaches Sophie how to impersonate a psychic so she can warn Melanie away from Doug, but her stint at the fair leads to Sophie becoming a semi-celebrity when she unwittingly saves another attendee’s life. Soon she’s keeping up the psychic charade on a local radio show, and her newfound fame lures Doug back. Despite its title, Cook’s romp is predictable, and readers know where true romance will be found. But they will stick with this entertaining, humorous debut to see how long it takes Sophie to figure it out. --Aleksandra Walker
