Ilana needs a summer job. Now. If she doesn’t find one her parents will find her all sorts of things to do, starting with music camp. Of course Ilana must take care that her job will not interfere with endless fittings for her bridesmaid dress so she can be her sister Dyllin’s maid of honor. Dyllin has transmogrified into Bridezilla, scourge of caterers, florists and sisters everywhere.
Ilana gets a summer job as a temp at the Divine Relief Temp agency, assigned to the three Fates, one of whom is having a severe attack of Mommy-itis. Ilana isn’t too sure about the work but she sure loves the paycheck! Plus she meets some cute guys who also temp, albeit with heroes and other assorted demigods.
Temping Fate is light summer reading and most teens would enjoy it as would many adults. Dylin’s panic attacks (NO! The wrong color of ribbons!!! The Horror!) add comedy offset by some real sisterly moments. Ilana grows up somewhat, but don’t expect a serious coming-of-age novel as this is lighthearted fun.
