The Rose Revived - Katie Fforde

I had never read anything by Katie Fforde, however on the list of books Amazon recommended for me based on past purchases with them, she was an author whose name regularly appeared. I was pleased then, when I was given one of her books - The Rose Revived. ~The Plot~ May is 24 years old and living alone on a canal boat named The Rose Revived, which she acquired through a split with an ex-boyfriend. When May finds out that her ex hadn t paid the mooring fees for several months, she needs to find money fast or risk losing the beloved boat which has become her home. Harriet was raised by her grandparents. When she got pregnant as an unmarried teenager, they were outraged, ...

Wedding Season - Katie Fforde

still love reading about weddings and it looked like just the type of fluffy, unchallenging chick-lit to brighten up my Piccadilly Line commute. I haven t read any of Katie Fforde s previous books (at least, I m pretty sure I haven t - to be honest, I have so many books that occasionally I forget I ve already read one and end up buying it again) but this particular one appealed to me. The cover is pure chick-lit - lots of swirly writing and a very stylised picture of a woman dressed in a wedding guest outfit, surrounded by floating hearts. The book is reasonably thick with over 400 pages - I read fast so I like my books to be on the chunky side to ensure they last more ...

Wedding Season - Katie Fforde

I am not normally a big fan of overtly girlie chick lit but my big sister gave this to me as she found it to be easy to read, enjoyable and it made her think about my wedding which will be July 2010. The book begins with Sarah, the cynical wedding planner who doesn't believe in love. I must say reading her say " Hugo! You brute! You gave me such a fright!" made me inwardly cringe...I'm sure people don't really talk this way in modern Britain. Do they?! But I persevered as I thought the story might be worth it. Fortunately it was and as I got to know Sarah, Elsa (the dress designer with low self esteem) and Bron the hairdresser (who's boyfriend could well be the ...
