She has a plan. Fate has other ideas.
The last place very average thirty-one-year-old Mara Williams thought she’d be is on a solo vacation impersonating her fortune teller when she finally meets the one. Josef, a gorgeous Austrian cellist, sits down for a reading and before she knows it, she’s telling him his destiny will be sitting in a pub in the English seaside town of Broadgate on the last Friday of August. And her name is Mara.
Enter Project Mara: three months to turn herself into the stylish, confident woman she’s always hoped to be. Meanwhile, the crumbling, formerly glamorous beachside pool club where she works is under threat and her eccentric colleagues enlist her help to save it, just as a handsome new housemate casts doubts on her ideas about “the one.” Can Mara pull off the transformation of a lifetime? And by summer’s end, will she know who is her destiny?

A fortune teller tells horoscope-obsessed Mara Williams that she will soon meet the man who is her destiny, then promptly goes into labor, leaving Mara in the Budapest shop alone. When the next client, a handsome cellist named Joe, arrives, Mara quickly dons the fortune teller's veil and tells Joe that he will meet his destiny at a pub in Broadgate--the small English village where Mara happens to live. That gives her the whole summer to get her life in order; no small feat considering her dire wardrobe situation and her dead-end job at a near-closing public lido, a beachside pool club. A coworker helps with the makeover, and a new roommate, Ash, helps with home repairs. The more time she spends with Ash--movie nights, family parties--the more she likes him. Could he be her destiny? But what about Joe? Dent's latest (after The Summer Job, 2021) tells the sweet and funny tale of a woman who has been barely scraping by as she opens herself up to new friends and new experiences.
