"This was the second Fforde I read, back when I had to get them in England. Katie Fforde is one of the few people who can make a book about cleaning entertaining! Going the Distance by Christina Jones is the other."
"I really liked this one! It reminded me of my first vacation to England when Taylor & I did the whole canal tour on our own narrowboat. Heavenly it was and so is this book."
"I enjoyed this more than "Highland Fling" by the same author, but didn't like the relationship between one of the girls and the painter - I couldn't understand how a woman could be happy with someone who treated her like she was something stuck to the bottom of his shoe! I don't know why Fforde decided to include such a strange relationship in the book; it seemed totally out of place. After from this, the book was a light, easy read and fairly enjoyable."
"I generally enjoy Katie Fforde's books - but this was my least favorite so far. The female characters weren't particularly likeable and it felt like there were a few holes in the story."
