Rating: - Not her best offering
I just read "Not that kind of Girl" and LOVED it!
So I got all excited because I thought I`d found a fantastic and gripping writer. So I picked up a copy of "The Wedding Day." So didn`t enjoy it. Found the characters wooden and unrealistic. The book dragged and I ended up giving up. I think I`ll try another of her books because I loved "Not that kind of girl" so much.
Please Catherine....how about a book where none of the characters lick their lips! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Enough already!

I found it unfunny and the characters unbelievable. There seemed to be too many monologual (if that's a word!) rants which I don't find realistic. Flora is 12 years old but the way she is written makes her sound like an adult - another thing I found unbelievable. The author also liked to name drop ... Read More

Rating: - very entertaining
Romantic fiction is nothing if not formulaic, and it wouldn't be particularly difficult to create a computer program that manipulated the finite number of available characters and subplots into a variety of possible combinations.

That's really not the point. Okay, you can play 'spot the subplot' all you like, as well as identifying the set characters who pop up in each of Catherine Alliot's books under a different name. Yet this is well-written stuff by the standards of the genre. You may be ... Read More
