I bought this and another of Fiona Walkers books at ASDA for around £3 each if I remember rightly. The RRP is £6.99. Tongue in cheek was published in 2006. The prologue describes Diana (who is to become a main character) 18th birthday, the events that unfold and what drove her away from her home and the man she loved..... Described as a 'rompalong tale' Tongue in cheek tells the story of three very different families who all move into the Oddlode valley on the same day. First we have Mo; the new teacher at Oddlode primary and Pod her boyfriend, an famous ex-jockey. They move into number 4 horseshoe cottages and quickly become ... Read the complete review

In the past I have read several of Fiona Walkers books. I particularly enjoyed Snap Happy, French Relations and Kiss Chase. Some books by Fiona Walker take a lot of reading. The book I am reviewing here - Tongue In Cheek - is one of them. Walker tends to fill her books with characters. Some of her books cross over with characters from other books but there is usually a central character to each book. I currently don't have a great deal of time to read and so this book took me around 4 months to get through!! ~~So whats the story?~~ Tongue in Cheek is set in the Oddlode Valley. This is made up of several small villages, Upper Springlode, Oddlode etc ... Read the complete review
