Chick-lit You Can Sink Your Teeth Into,
By
This review is from: Kiss Chase (Mass Market Paperback)
Pick up a paperback copy of "Kiss Chase", and you're likely to be surprised by the weightiness of it. The book is 808 pages long, printed in fairly small type - definitely not chick-lit in its usual form.
It took me a while to get into "Kiss Chase". The book starts off with so many characters and interlocking stories that it's hard to keep track of them all. Characters are constantly moving back and forth from London to the English countryside to Paris to America, and the narrative skips around between people and places without offering any buffer zone. However, after about the first 100 pages everything starts to click into place, and the plot gets much easier to follow. This is the point at which everything falls into place, and the main plot takes off. Saskia Seaton, a once beautiful actress, is in shambles. Her fiancé, Felix Sylvian, dumped her in a terribly cruel way, and she's been a wreck ever since - going so far as to try to kill herself. Saskia's discovered that he's done the same thing to other women, and she vows to get revenge. She begs her friend Phoebe to help her give Felix a dose of his own medicine - make Felix fall in love with her, and then dump him in the cruel way that he dumped Saskia. After some coercion, Phoebe agrees, but of course things don't work out exactly as planned. The book isn't perfect - Felix has done some horrible things to women that made it hard for me to like him at first, and Phoebe was having an affair with a married man, which made me dislike her (there is a lot of adultery in the book, so be warned if that is something that bothers you). But ultimately Phoebe and Felix are so wonderful together that you can't help falling in love with them and hoping that they will be able to get past everything that's in their way. The cast of supporting characters is mostly very likeable, and the unlikable characters are that way for a reason. If you're willing to slog through some of the more difficult parts of this book, you'll find yourself with a very enjoyable read.

Fantastic read!,

It was my mother who first gave me a Fiona walker noel only a few weeks ago and since then I have read all of them, "Snap Happy", "French Relations", "Well Groomed" and "Kiss Chase". I can't wait for the next book to come out. Does anyone know of a contact address for Fiona Walker? I would definately recommend all of her books to all those who love a good romantic comedy

3 Cheers for Fiona Walker,

This review is from: Kiss Chase (Hardcover)
This girl can write. Her books are WONDERFUL. Funny, charming and so easy to fall in love with. You won't be sorry. She's a little bit hard to find (check out Amazon.com/UK) but, so worth the time and effort. She's wonderfully creative and seems to capture a romantic comedy perfectly. Great books. All of them...and, I can't wait for more.
