Synopsis

Sophie isn't crazy, she just wants her guy back. And posing as a psychic to give his new girlfriend a fake reading designed to break them up isn't going overboard, is it? Don't answer that.

Faking psychic powers turns out to be fun, especially after a few lessons from Nick, the cute skeptic, who teaches her all the tricks of the trade. But her readings do a lot more than she could have predicted. Now she must decide whether to accept her rising stardom in a less-than-honest line of work-and whether the best option is trying to rekindle her old flame or finding romance with someone new. And, most importantly, she needs to figure out whether the answers lie in the stars-or in herself.

Reviews

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
