You Can't Be Serious

Cathy Yardley

From the author of Do Me a Favor comes the vibrant, chaotic connection between a buttoned-up executive determined to protect his mother and the tarot-reading, free-spirited K-pop fan who just moved in. Troy Wainwright believes plans solve all problems. His current challenge: his elderly mother’s snap decision to divorce and house some purple-haired scammer. His solution? Move into the second spare bedroom, ultimately elbow the interloper out. Jennie Tran is many things. A tarot reader. Perimenopausal. “Neurosparkly.” A lover of fandoms, especially the K-pop group K4RMA, whose concert she’s determined to see before she turns fifty in the fall. But she is not a con artist. She’s also not a pushover, as Troy’s about to find out. The hard way, if he keeps this up! Troy’s deliberate strategies collide with Jennie’s colorful chaos. Plans start to go awry. Both gain unexpected insights into their apparent adversary…not to mention a budding attraction neither wants to acknowledge. She’s not part of his plans. He’s certainly not in her cards. But fate works in funny ways. Sometimes, the person you need the most is the last person you were looking for.
