Beth is in the village to help her sister,
Lindy is a young seamstress and the single mother of two young boys.
Rachel is recently divorced. We learn she is an organized accountant and a bit controlling.
The references of Raff to Mr.Darcy and of the 'Finn and the McCools' band, I found amusing.
Life and relationships formed in the Cotswold village are interesting. We read the description of the wedding arrangements are, "The fragrance of the spring flowers was lovely. The five jam jars on each table looked extravagant. And although the Flower Guild had said there wasn't time to decorate the marquee itself very much, they had found time to wind swatches of net and ivy and narcissus from the centres, covering the supporting struts.The roof was tented with net and tiny lights that gave the impression of being a fairy palace."
This appears to be a get out of the rut you are in ....type of read. So, if you are interested in a nice - easy, slightly - charming, village romance, then this Katie Fforde novel might just be the book for you..

I was drawn into the story quickly as the three main characters – Beth, Lindy and Rachel were likeable, interesting and resourceful. Everyone loves a wedding and this book has a couple that are enchanting as the friends business is all about vintage weddings. The book offers up a nice mix of romance, humor and sentimentality that made this book a fun one to curl up with. The author knows how to please her audience and includes lots of descriptive detail about clothing, decor, and food.
My first Katie Fforde book but certainly not my last. I look forward to discovering more of her light romance stories in the future.
