'Thank goodness for Katie Fforde, the perfect author to bring comfort in difficult times. She really is the queen of uplifting, feel good romance.' AJ PEARCE

Julia's learning some lessons in love. A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match.

Sometimes you can't escape the past...

When Julia realises she holds more affection for a Labrador than she does for her actual fiancee, Oscar, Julia decides to change her life. She quits her job, dumps Oscar, and starts a new career as a cook on a couple of narrowboats.

Finally feeling like she's keeping her head above water, Julia is appalled when her past comes back to haunt her.

Oscar is persistent, her mother is a matchmaking nightmare and to top it all off her childhood enemy, the enigmatic, Fergus Grindley, arrives on the scene.

Reviews for Life Skills

Passed over (in favour of a man) in the house-agency department she's built, Julia storms out of her job, and engagement to boring Oscar, to become a cook on a pair of canal hotel-boats. But Oscar isn't giving up and when childhood enemy Fergus arrives on the scene Julia's in double-trouble and must hastily learn some new 'Life Skills'. As always, Fforde blows a fresh summer breeze through the old-fashioned Romantic Novel - in a setting made vivid by the author's personal experience. Great holiday read. (Kirkus UK)
