SKIP TO THE END

A 30-something London woman kisses three men at a wedding but can't remember which one is destined to be the love of her life.

Amy Daniels has an unusual gift: When she first kisses a person, she gets a vision of the end of their relationship. After 20 years of kissing men only to have premonitions of bad endings, she decides things need to change. She doesn’t want to wind up like her beloved mother—now in a nursing home in the early stages of dementia—who married a man though she knew he’d leave her heartbroken. Her close-knit group of friends have been with her every step, or rather kiss, along the way: beautiful, organized Charlotte, who's marrying banker Marcus; flamboyant twins May and Jay; and steady, outdoorsy, plant-focused Gareth. At Charlotte’s over-the-top wedding, where the booze is flowing, May dares Amy to kiss three men to see what happens. And she does. But when she wakes up the next morning, it turns out she was so drunk she can't remember whom she kissed—just that along with two bad premonitions came one that showed her happily-ever-after. She spends the next few weeks trying to figure out, with the help of her friends, whom she kissed and whether he is her destiny. Was it rich, modelworthy Tristan, whose family owns a vineyard? Kind Ben, a waiter and petsitter who’s working on a screenplay? Creepy Elliot, who’s been chasing her forever? Or a mystery man? James has written a charming story that fizzes and bubbles like champagne—easy, fun, and enjoyable to read. Pure escapism.

A light, frothy look at finding romantic love and the solid base of love offered by friends.
