Sad reader July 13, 2008
I have been a fan of Katie Fford's from her earliest works 'The Rose Revived' and 'Stately Pursuits', but this one, like the last couple of her's, have made me decide I will not read any more. This one was trite, boring and so horribly predicatable - right from the beginning I knew what was going to happen to all 3 women - and the only reason I kept going was to prove myself right! It gave every indication of having been written to a formula by a once funny and clever writer who obviously feels she no longer needs to make an effort - her name alone will sell it. The dialogue was stilted and unbelieveable, the characters left me completely unmoved. Thank goodness for the library I say! At least I didn't buy it.

Wedding Season - Katie Fforde July 13, 2008
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. It was a nice read but one I could put down and pick up rather than have to read to the end in one go without stopping.

Another winner...but I want 1 heroine, not 3 July 11, 2008
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.

Wedding days July 5, 2008
This book is gorgeous romantic froth & I loved it. How does Fforde manage to make her heroines real women, juggling jobs, families, relationships, and yet, her men are pure fantasy figures? Still single & straight in their 30s, bruised by love but not bitter, kind, helpful & sexy all at the same time. Sarah is a wedding planner who doesn't believe in romance; Elsa, a dressmaker who needs some self confidence; and Bron, a hairdresser with a boorish boyfriend who wants to make some changes in her life. When a Hollywood celebrity hires Sarah to plan her perfect wedding, Sarah is eager to take up the challenge, with help from Elsa & Bron. Then, her younger sister, Lily, announces that her wedding is planned for the same day, and could Sarah help her plan the perfect wedding with no budget at all? Throw into the mix three lovely men - Hugo, the photographer who reminds Sarah of a miserable love affair; Lawrence, the best man at a wedding where Elsa steps in as bridesmaid at the last minute; and James, a gardener with a bruised heart who lives next door to Bron - and you have all the ingredients for a lovely romance.

Not up to her usual standard June 29, 2008

I struggled to keep reading this book to the end. The story seemed to drag along. I'm sorry to say that this is the 2nd book of Fforde's that I have struggled with and I've read them all. I find the earlier books much more enjoyable.
