Last April, I had the joy of reading Katie Fforde's novel Wedding Season  (thank you, interlibrary loan). Last week, Wedding Season finally made its U.S. debut with a lovely new cover. I'm reposting my review because it's been a year. If you're a fan of British chick lit, you must read Fforde. Enjoy!

Katie Fforde writes consistently delightful modern, British romantic comedy of manners novels. Her heroines always manage to be easy to relate to, yet inspiring and independent. It was refreshing to see these three learn to rely on one another and a few other helpful hands along the way. As a bride to be, I appreciated all of the labor...

Katie Fforde writes consistently delightful modern, British romantic comedy of manners novels. Practically Perfect is no exception. The novel tells the story of Anna, an interior designer who buys a small cottage in the Cotswalds to fix up. The cottage is in bad shape; it doesn't have a bathroom or stairs when she moves in. Anna quickly makes friends with her neighbor and other amusing townsfolk. Katie Fforde's heroines always manage to be easy to relate to, yet inspiring and independent.
