Description

The brilliantly uplifting, page-turning novel from the multi-million bestselling author of Geek Girl and Reese's Book Club Pick Cassandra in Reverse.

'Everyone should read it and everyone will love it' Lindsey Kelk
'A true delight from cover to cover' Charlotte Butterfield

If you could see your future, how would you live now?

Margot Wayward is in manically gleeful self-destruct mode. Following the implosion of a ten-year relationship, she's wilfully derailing her successful career, joyfully taking down men on dating apps, and living in total chaos.

Until one day, when Margot has a vision of herself with a man she's never met before. She doesn't believe in fate. But when Margot meets single-dad Henry, the vision comes true—exactly as she'd foreseen it.

As her future continues to reveal itself, a glimpse at a time, Margot realises she knows exactly what's going to happen, and when. And there's nothing she can do to change any of it.

So Margot has to decide how to live, how to love again, and how to be herself... Because if you can't change your destiny, how on earth do you live your present?

'Irresistibly charming, heartbreakingly hopeful, and downright hilarious' Catherine Walsh
'Funny and tender, full of joy... a clever, surprising look at how our future selves can help us find out who we are.' Catriona Silvey
'Holly Smale never fails to make me laugh, and move me. I felt so happy when I was reading this book.' Daisy Buchanan
