Katie Fforde (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 5, 2010

Sophie Apperly has spent her whole life pleasing others - but when she realises her family see her less as indispensable treasure and more as general dogsbody, she decides she's had enough.

3.0 out of 5 stars Same formula, still entertaining, August 19, 2010

By

This review is from: A Perfect Proposal (Hardcover)

I admit it, I like this author because she's predictible. She sticks to a formula of quirky (sometimes verging on the annoying), unconventional heroines, some romance, and voila, happy ending. And it just happens that I like this light literature in between heavier, darker novels. This one doesn't disappoint. Sophie is the "artsy" type, with a heart of gold, and a lot of peole step on her (that's where the annoying comes in, she lets everybody use her as a doormat). But she meets some nice people (including a good-looking guy) and comes into some money and life is well. Aaaah, if everything in life was so easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another classic from Katie Fforde, September 6, 2010

This review is from: A Perfect Proposal (Kindle Edition)

I have read and enjoyed all of Katie Fforde's books and this one doesn't disapoint. Katie does stick to the same general theme with all her books but the settings are always fresh and I never fail to fall completely in love with her characters. I always find myself laughing out loud at the capers her characters get themselves into. A Perfect Proposal is a great book to curl up with on a cold winter's day or while stretching out in the sun. Thank you Katie, you never fail to deliver the goods.

this is just darling ~ lots of lovely characters and easy delightful plot. I must say, i have great pile of Miss Katie's books and they are all 're-reads' - the ones i drag out again and again when i need a quick escape or lighten up... sweet!
