1963: Lizzie has just arrived in London, determined to make the best of her new-found freedom.
Her mother may be keen that she should have a conventional wedding in the country to a Suitable Man chosen by her . . . but she definitely wants to have some fun first.
Soon Lizzie has cut her hair fashionably short, bought herself a minidress, and moved in with two of her best friends in a grand but run-down house in Belgravia.
Before long, Lizzie’s life is so exciting that she has forgotten all about her mother’s marriage plans.
All she can think about is that the handsome man she is falling in love with appears to be engaged to someone else . . .

I love Katie Fforde books. A friend introduced me to them several years ago and they never disappoint. This story is about the friendship of three girls who meet at a cookery school. They bond from day one and share their hopes and dreams of how their lives will be when the course comes to an end. There is of course romance involved and differences between the upper and middle class beliefs and expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend.

I am an avid Katie Fforde fan and have everything she has written and thoroughly enjoy them. But, I have to say that I am not really enjoying this latest one. I can’t seem to warm to any of the characters and I am finding the dialogue quite “bitty”. I have had to remind myself that this was written by Katie Fforde – it just doesn’t “sound” like her. One week on I’m only half-way through the book which is unusual for me as I normally devour her books in a few days. I will persevere but I shall be glad when I’ve finished it. I am enjoying the setting of 60’s London as it is bringing back lots of memories but I wish I could like and care about the characters but I just can’t. I am really looking forward to her new book in February and hope she is back to her funny, fluffy best.

Loved everything about this book. Gentle, fun, a bit of drama. Set in beautifully described surroundings. Author is always worth a read.

… but… I much prefer KF’s contemporary romances. This felt more about staging the time and place, 1960’s, than building a lovable and believable lead character. The two leading characters never really had a chance to win me over with their relationship. I suppose it reflects the situation and how it would have unfolded given the social constraints of the time. I would like to seen the two ‘live a little’ as the story developed. I did enjoy the developing friendship between the girls and I enjoyed how David’s character interacted with the group.
It didn’t grab me like all her other books have. I’ve got them all and they’ve each been read and reread beyond counting. I love her stories and was counting the days until this new book landed on my Kindle… I feel flat and disappointed if I’m honest. After all the anticipation it wasn’t the twisty, hiccuppy, fun and farce book with well expressed characters that I can really buy into and root for when their situation becomes tricky.
I was looking forward to so much and now I’m just feeling a bit flat and disappointed… I’ll keep the faith and just wait it out until the next book. Suffice to say this one’s not going to be reread.
