A trentasette anni Amelia Lockwood, irlandese di Dublino, produttrice di una popolare soap opera televisiva, ha tutte le carte in regola per essere felice: è una donna attraente, ha un lavoro gratificante, una bella casa, tre fantastiche amiche. Sarebbe tutto perfetto, se non fosse che le manca ciò a cui tiene più di qualunque altra cosa al mondo: un marito. Perciò, un po' per gioco e un po' confidando nel destino, decide di iscriversi a un corso che promette alle donne sopra i trentacinque di trovare marito entro un anno. Il programma consiste nel ricontattare tutti i precedenti fidanzati per capire quali errori sono stati commessi e correggere il proprio modo di avvicinare gli uomini. E così Amelia si ritrova a incontrare gli amori della sua vita, dai sedici anni in su, con risultati esilaranti e a dir poco sorprendenti...

Vedere il futuro. È questo il dono speciale che Cassandra possiede fin da piccola. E ora le sue doti divinatorie sono diventate un vero e proprio lavoro: tiene una rubrica su un giornale in qualità di veggente. I suoi pronostici sono azzeccati, non sbaglia un colpo, ma non è così brava quando si tratta dei propri affari di cuore. L'unica consolazione che le rimane è liquidare i fallimenti con la frase di rito: 'Tanto lui non mi piaceva nemmeno'. I suoi successi professionali vanno di pari passo con i fiaschi amorosi, fino a quando viene chiamata a lavorare in uno show televisivo dove incontra un fascinoso produttore, e con lui nei paraggi Cassandra non è più in grado di vedere nulla...

Ever since she was a little girl, all Amelia Lockwood has ever wanted is to get married. The Tiffany ring, the Vera Wang dress ...the whole shebang. The car, the gorgeous flat and three fabulous friends only go so far in consoling her now that she's thirty-seven and still not married. So when Amelia hears about a course that promises she'll be saying 'I do' before the year is out, she jumps at the chance to enrol. What Amelia doesn't realize is that a fundamental principle of the course is that you need to revisit all your past relationships to work out where you went wrong. In single-minded pursuit of her ultimate goal Amelia gets in touch with every ex-boyfriend she's ever had - right back to age sixteen - with some surprising results!

Cassandra never set out to become a famous psychic, with her very own magazine column, plus a glamorous TV slot thrown in for good measure. Let's face it, it's not exactly the usual career choice a girl might make, now is it? But, whether she likes it or not, and most of the time she doesn't, ever since Cassandra was a little girl she's been able to see into the future. While she can make predictions with 100 per cent accuracy for everyone around her, including her three best friends, Charlene, Jo and Marc with a C, there's a bit of a twist. Why oh why does Cassandra's incredible psychic gift seem to float right out the window whenever there's a D.S.M. (decent, single man) around that she actually fancies herself? And what if that same D.S.M. just happens to be her hot, new TV producer boss? But even being able to foretell the future can't protect Cassandra from what destiny has in store, and sometimes fate won't allow you to look before you love...
