Wedding Season - Katie Fforde

I have read a couple of books by Katie Fforde and have enjoyed them so when I was at my mother-in-laws and in need of a book to read whilst my husband was out walking the dog I browsed her bookshelves and found she had about 8 or 10 books by Katie Fforde. Reading the backs of the books the book which caught my attention was "Wedding Season." I love weddings and I thought a book about weddings was sure to be a good one and if Katie Ffordes previous books were anything to go by there would be a happy ending. The book has three main female characters although one is slightly more prominent than the others this is Sarah. Sarah is a wedding planner who ...  Read the complete review

After the thought-provoking and slightly disturbing book I read last week (Restless by Barbara Gowdy which I have also reviewed), it was back to my usual diet of pure chick-lit this week. I was dashing around Waitrose, supposedly picking up a few bits and pieces for dinner, when I got distracted by the cut-price books... 'Wedding Season' appealed to me instantly as although it's nearly six years since I got married, I 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 ...  Read the complete review

Katie Fforde's 'feel good', easy reads are my choice of summer reading. Wedding Season is a heart-warming tale of female friendship, full of Fforde's distinctive brand of humour. I bought a copy of this book for a friends birthday, knowing she likes this particular author. I also thought ahead - once she had finished reading the book I could borrow it!! However, on a visit to my local library (just over the road from my house) I saw a copy in the 'Fast Back' section. The librarian reminded me that the book had to be back within the week and insisted that no housework should be done until the book was finished!! Very pleased with this I went home to start reading ...  Read the complete review

****__Wedding Season - Katie Fforde  __**** This is another of these authors i like to read when i am looking for something light,so when i saw this in Waterstones for £3.99 i had to buy it!!! This is Katie fforde's 14th novel. She is a Sunday Times top ten bestseller and all her books tend to be quite light reads. >>Plot<< This book is about three woman who become good friends through working with each other. They seem to have very different personalities but have one thing in common - love doesn't seem to feature in any of their lives. Sarah- a complete workaholic(she is a wedding planner). She had one bad ...  Read the complete review

I picked up this book as it was cheap in Tesco ( 2 for £7) and I am getting married in March 2010, so anything weddingy is good at the moment! I'd also heard that she is quite a good author for chick-lit type stories. I really enjoyed this book, maybe just because I'm really interested in weddings at the moment, but I think it is more to do with the fact it is a well written feel good story. I think you can see a reflection of people you know in the characters as they are such "real" people. You really do go through the motions with the characters and there is always something to keep you on your toes. I think this is a great chick-lit ...  Read the complete review
