A brilliant easy summer read - much better than her last one! July 23, 2008 Easterchick (Warwickshire) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a big fan of Katie Fforde and have read every book since The Rose Revived. Unlike her last book, which was drivel, I actually enjoyed the characters in this one, and it made a change to have a book which wasn't based around a canal boat! Everyone loves a wedding, and a celebrity wedding even more so. OK, so, how the love lives would pan out was obvious from the start - so what? That to me is one of the joys of KF's books - you don't have to think too hard :-) If you want something that makes you think, go get The Guardian. If you want a relaxing book to take on the beach this summer, that's going to cheer you up because you know from the start everything will turn out well - this fits the bill perfectly!
Wedding Season - Katie Fforde July 13, 2008 Scarlett Jones (South Wales) I loved Katie Fforde's earlier books {Living Dangerously and Highland Fling) for the developing romance between the down to earth heroine and hero. I feel this book concentrated too much on the practicalities of organising a wedding which just brought me out in a cold sweat. I like the idea of the heroine having an interesting job, but I'd like it to take second place to the developing romance. I liked the humour of the hen night where we saw it through the eyes of the older hens rather than the younger chicks. However, I did not care enough about the characters - the wedding arrangements seemed to take centre stage. It wasn't bad, but I loved Katie Fforde's earlier books. I hope the next one is about a central romance, not a couple of romances.
Another winner...but I want 1 heroine, not 3 July 11, 2008 Kathy Kaiser Katie Fforde is one of my favorite authors. And this latest offering is an excellent one. She does her homework on the various worlds she enters into in her storylines and therefore describes the aspects clearly and descriptively for her readers. The wedding world is a fun and feminine one which totally appealed to my inner girlyness. My only problem with this book (and her previous one) is that Fforde centers the novel not on one heroine but on three. This is probably just my own personal foible, but I prefer following the story of one main character. I certainly enjoy secondary characters' lives and loves as well, but would rather one character be the primary force. Fforde gives equal time to all three. I enjoyed reading their stories, but I found it difficult to always be pulled away from one character and thrown into another character's life throughout the book. I wanted just one main story to sink my teeth into. But, Fforde is such a marvelous storyteller that I did thoroughly enjoy Wedding Season. I'm just hoping that her next novel doesn't pull me in three different directions like her last two books.
