Wedding Season

- Katie Fforde -

I always find Katie Fforde's novels so enjoyable. They always seem like such a slice of life, with quirky, realistic characters and created in their own very believable little worlds.

Wedding Season was no exception in that it was very sweet and fun to read.

Seemed majorly, majorly low on plot though with some weird dropped thread style additions. For example, there was quite a bit of time devoted to Sarah's flaky little sister, Lily and the shotgun wedding that Sarah was helping her organize, that didn't seem to go anywhere.

There was no real conflict or anything anywhere, ie: Bron wanted to leave her boyfriend, was afraid to tell him, in the end she did and... that was that. Again, felt underdeveloped.

I do really enjoy Fforde's writing, but this one felt like it had no stakes, no conflict or surprises and while the story of three women finding their way in the world both personally and professionally and relying on each other's friendship to help then do so, is a lovely one, it felt like it couldn't have been much more developed.
