A Vintage Wedding

2015Katie Fforde

4.9/5

I normally like Katie Fforde's books, but not this one. I think the problem lies, for me, in two elements: too many leading ladies, and too much sex too soon.Having three main characters, all having love interests, means that none of them get the attention they deserve. The characters were very thinly portrayed, with very little characterisation. I didn't even remember what they looked like, other than the fact Beth's short hair kept getting mentioned.Also, the love interests got together with the ladies so early in the book, I wondered what would happen in the rest of the book (very little, actually). In most of her previous novels, there was a lot of sexual tension and 'will they/won't they', but here they just fell into bed straight away, leaving the rest of the book with remarkably low tension or drama.For a book that went on for over 400 pages, I thought it went way to fast, but very slowly at the same time. Had it not been such easy reading, I would have given up halfway through.Most of her public will love the book, but I didn't.
