Going Dutch by Katie Fforde

Two women are living on a barge. The younger woman, Dora, has just called off her wedding and her best friend's mom, Jo, who was dumped by her husband for a younger model lets Jo stay at the barge she's living on. The two women... yada yada yada

Sorry about that but I couldn't be bothered to summarise any more of Going Dutch. I have read several of Katie Fforde's novels and I am sad to say that this one had me yawning from beginning to end and I'm quite annoyed over the fact that I spent £6.99 on it. I actually kept on reading hoping it'd get better but towards the end I read a few sentences that made me gag as it would have been too cheesy and corny for the slimiest kind of novels*. It's so bad it doesn't even work as a joke, that's how bad it is.

If you think I'm lying you can check it out for yourself the next time you enter a book store. It's sort of halfway through the last chapter. But. If you can't be bothered, and I suggest that you stay away from this book anyway, then here you go - the most vile thing I've ever read;

"You can go anywhere you like. The world is your oyster. You are the pearl."

Eeeurgh!

C'mon Katie Fforde - you can do so much better than this. I should also try to say something nice and I can - the cover is nice, I particularly like the wellies...

*I have yet to read such a novel but now I've read 3 sentences of one...
