I am hoping that Love Letters was the aberration in Fforde's writing career and not A Perfect Proposal so that I have tons of new books to look forward to. This book is funny and witty with characters I connected to.
A Perfect Proposal was just the book I needed to brighten my days during a bleak time. I thank the stars, and the e-galley gods, that I gave Katie Fforde a second chance.
As it so happens A Perfect Proposal had electronic galleys through Net Galley and I thought, if they approve my request, here is the perfect opportunity as it where to see if my first impressions were wrong. I mean, shouldn't I at least give that author a second chance? Therefore I could look back without regrets having given said author the benefit of the doubt. Of course I am a fickle person and I felt bad for having sworn off an author with only reading one of their books. Love Letters struck all the wrong chords in me and made me swear off Katie Fforde. Three years ago I picked up my first Katie Fforde book and it was instant dislike. This might seem like a wild goose chase, but it's quite fun, and with Luke coming along for the ride, maybe something more then an old house will be found? A situation that might help both her and Matilda, as Matilda sends Sophie back to England with a request, to find the house Matilda spent her holidays in as a youth. Yet Sophie has a heart of gold and, though she may be almost flat broke, she would never take advantage of this situation fate has landed her in. Matilda and Luke himself are both rather wealthy. They instantly hit it off and soon Sophie is going to Connecticut to spend Thanksgiving with Matilda, who's grandson, Luke, looks on Sophie as a gold digger.
It's Sophie's dream come true, she's always wanted to go to New York, so when the job falls through, well, it's sad, but then there's more time to play the tourist on her very restricted budget.Īt a gallery opening the helpful Sophie comes to the aid of the elderly Matilda. Sophie decides to try to help her ever skint family by investigating this trust and to that end she gets a short term job in New York and goes to visit one of her two best friends. Of course things don't go to plan in that Sophie and Eric get on like a house on fire and she finds out about a lost family trust to do with an oil well. To that end they volunteer her to take care of their Uncle Eric in the hope that this little gesture will make the horrid old man remember them in his will. Therefore as far as her family are concerned she's a bit dumb and a bit of a dogsbody. They are all academic and artistic, whereas she's more of a homebody who likes to upscale thrift store finds into interesting creations. Sophie Apperly is the odd one out in her family.
