Book Overview
Anna, a newly qualified interior designer, has decided it's time to put her money and her expertise where her mouth is and risk everything?to buy a tiny but adorable cottage in desperate need of renovation. Outside, the chocolate-box cottage is perfect, but inside, all is chaos. With a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting, and a sleeping bag and camping mat for a bed, Anna soon wonders if she's bitten off more than she can chew. Her neighbor Chloe comes to the rescue, providing tea, wine, and sympathy---and a recently rescued greyhound, Caroline. But just as Anna's starting to settle in, make new friends, and see the house transforming before her eyes, the good-looking yet impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene and puts even more obstacles in her way. Will Anna be able to get over all of life's hurdles in the end, or will she stumble and fall?

Disappointing
Published by Anne Grime , 3 years ago
I have read other Fforde books and enjoyed them. This not so much. Characters were rather superficially drawn and quite uninteresting. The entire book was dull and boring. It took a real effort to complete it.
Love it

I love Katie Fforde's books! This was a great one, not my favorite of hers, but a great read. Entertaining, fun and I'm glad I purchased it.
enjoyable

I'm generally a reader of paranormal romances but enjoy something on the lighter side once in awhile. Practically Perfect is a lovely light chic lit novel. It's not terribly exciting; it's just a small story about Anna who is working on her designing career fixing up and selling homes. She is unsophisticated but capable and sweet. Practically Perfect has many elements that make British Chic Lit fun to read; picturesque English country side, cottages, local village and market. I pictured Rob (the love interest) as Colin Firth from Love Actually...big and goofy but strong and sweet.
