Lucy Talk [Paperback]

Fiona Walker (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 6, 2001

Meet Lucy Gordon, the sweet, scatty, irresistible heroine of Fiona Walker's delicious new novel. Lucy lives in a village with her two friends, Jane and Bella, and works in the marketing department of Widgetex Computers. Her boss—Slave Driver—is a constant bane; her family are lovable eccentrics; and her boyfriend, the dishy but fickle Greg, takes shameless advantage of her (Lucy is too good hearted to notice). Throughout two action-packed, fun-filled, disaster-strewn years, Lucy charts an erratic course among this motley crew to her very own happy ending.

Review

'A fluffy, light and original read to pass on to your mates when you're finished' -- B Magazine 20011001 'Scatty and very funny. This is a hilarious book which will appeal to anyone who regularly misjudges their love life. Great holiday reading.' -- Woman's Way, Dublin 20011001 'Full of wisecracks and one-liners ... the touching ending will leave you feeling a little warm inside, even if it is still pouring outside' -- Newcastle Evening Chronicle 20011001 'Walker's more inventive than many of her rivals ... quick wit, sharp tongue and characters you don't want to strangle' -- The Mirror 20011001 'this bubbly offering ... is the perfect millennium novel' -- Nuneaton Evening Telegraph 20011001 'frothy and fun with a rattling good plot' -- Oxford Mail 20011001 'All great fun.' -- Books Magazine 20011001 Likely to do just as much for Fiona Walker's reputation as the much-acclaimed Between Males ... wacky, beguiling heroine ... delightful stuff ... brought off very cleverly here' -- Amazon UK 20011001

4.0 out of 5 stars "Lucy Talk" Is A Hit!, June 3, 2003

This review is from: Lucy Talk (Paperback)

I'm a huge Fiona Walker fan. She's on my top 5 authors list and I was thrilled to see a new book from her. "Lucy Talk" is a really cute and fun look into the world of Lucy Gordon, the very sweet and everyday gal from England. She's your average woman, with a so-so job, a wacky family, great friends and a boyfriend that treats her like dirt. Basic formula for a cute "chick lit" book. Right? Right. Here's the different ----- "Lucy Talk" is all written in email format/WORD doc. Monologue's. Some people haven't enjoyed this form of writing (seen in other current books) but I really think it moves a book along and makes it an easy and fun read.

I particularly loved the relationship between Lucy and her best girlfriends, Jane and Bella. I found myself really drawn to them and could see myself in their group.

I love Fiona's books - her characters - her stories and her all around creative tone. I think she's a real gem and "Lucy Talk" is a hidden treasure. Pick it up - perfect for those summer days on the beach!

Cheers!

This book is probably one of the best I have ever read. It's long, but by the end, you don't want to leave Lucy's world.
