*****5 stars
I love Katie Fforde books. They are always so well done. Her characters are deep and there is always so much going on that you are completely lost in time with them. I ended up reading this early into the morning hours to finish it. I just recently ordered many of her older books, as I can't wait to receive them and start on another journey spun by Fforde.
Book Jacket Summary:
Sophie Apperly's family has never taken her seriously. Fiercely academic, they see her more practical skills as frivolous - whilst constantly taking advantage of her. So when her best friend Milly invites her over to New York, she jumps at the chance. It'll do her ungrateful family good to so without her for a while. What's more, she's on a quest - America holds the key to solving her family's financial woes, even if they don't deserve her help.
From the moment Sophie hits the bright lights of Manhattan she's determined to enjoy every minute of her big adventure. So when an evening at an art gallery throws her into the path of Matilda, a spirited old lady who invites her to Connecticut for Thanksgiving, Sophie willingly accepts, much to the dismay of Matilda's grandson Luke, Undeniably attractive but infuriatingly arrogant, he seems to doubt Sophie's motives for befriending his grandmother. No match for the formidable Matilda, he eventually admits defeat, but first he has a proposal to make. He'll help Sophie in her quest to save her family from financial ruin if she repays the favor. But just what does she have to do in return....?
