Living Dangerously

A Katie Fforde book is a cup of hot chocolate (with a splash)! If you haven't as yet discovered Katie, I almost envy you; that would mean you have all those cups of hot chocolate ahead of you (don't forget the splash)!

Really enjoyed this one... so glad to have my own copy - it's one of those i will save for my Re-reads.... yum! :)

I've read 13 of her books and I think she's written 13 to date. I don't know the order but I can say this is unequivocally the best of the lot. I love her novels. They're a fun beach read that's romantic and cozy. An Anglophile, I enjoy the atmosphere. I really recommend this book. I read it last and love it the most.

As the title suggests, this book is definitely worth savouring. I first encountered it in its audio-book version, rented from the local library and almost did not listen to it because of the length. Once I tried it, however, I was hooked within the first minute and am so glad that I took a chance. By the time the book was over, I was wishing that it was twice as long, or rather that it would never end. Sigh. This was Fforde's first novel, and as such, it is amazing. Of the ones of hers that I have read, this is definitely her best. (I have not read any of the ones that been produced by her new publisher, but I can not wait!) Enjoy! (If you like Darcyish heroes, this book will be right up your alley. The experience of reading it is similar to watching the BBC Production of Pride and Predjudice.)

Reading this book is like talking with an old friend. It is funny, poignant and beautifully plausible...so we don't all have happy endings...just read this book and it'll make the most cynical among us believe that they're possible.
