Rating:  - Perfect escapism
This was a truly enjoyable read, very funny and cosy. I loved the descriptions of the barge and the atmosphere of the harbour. The Dutch background was also very true to life (I lived in The Netherlands for five years). A lovely escape this dreary summer!Finding Margo
Rating:  - 'Chick Lit'
Katie Fforde is in my opinion one of the better writers of `chick lit' This is her thirteenth novel and I admit to having read most of them, as her writing has always been enjoyable when I feel the need for some romantic escapism.

Rating:  - A romance too far?

Rating: - A definate miss - do not buy this book if you want romance read
Am a through and through romance novel consumist and this book has more or less none of it (except maybe a 50 year old woman having if off with a guy with all the juicy bits being completely overlooked and missed out). Its so frustrating when things don't do what they say on the label (or in this case the cover). It takes me a few days to read a good romance yet this one was dragged out for weeks. At some points the language just got plain annoying, I mean the cover says 'hey am a modern chilled out romance ... Read More
Rating:  - Very disappointing
I was expecting a light, easy-to-read romance and was disappointed by a very weak plot, silly, one-dimensional characters and endless meals and cups of tea.
