'I was still at that stage in my life when I thought that weekdays were for recovering from the weekend'***

Twenty-six year old Lucy Sullivan is living it up (and occasionally down) in London.

Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified.

For the fortune teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact.

Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim. Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober.

• Is Lucy's fate really written in the stars?
