Advantages: Best book I've ever read Disadvantages: Don't want it to end
...but please believe me that Well Groomed will have you in stitches with its witty one liners. I've just read the book for the second time and it just gets better and better, I've noticed so many clever little comments that I missed the first time because I was so eager to get to the end. Although I would probably class this book as a romance it is not sentimental in the slightest, and left me wishing that the story would continue once I got to the ...

Advantages: Hilariously funny and romantic Disadvantages: Erm... none!
...start making strange noises? Yup, well that was me last week. I just happened to be reading 'Well Groomed', a book by Fiona Walker... and as a result I was struggling not to laugh out loud. Instead, I looked like an idiot. But this book was so good that I really didn't care!
'Well Groomed' is the sequel to 'French Relations' and chronicals the life and loves of Tash French following her return to Berkshire with Niall O'Shaugnessy in tow. It begins ... ...characters, like Zoe (Penny's sister) to inspire even more laughs than the first book did. We see Tash becoming accustomed to being an actor's girlfriend, a stable girl and being madly in love with... well, no - we won't go there! Niall and Tash attend a dinner in Niall's honour with the rest of Tash's family in tow. It being Christmas and having an insane family, it is no surprise that when Tash wears a ring from a cracker on an unfortunate finger ...

In ‘Well Groomed’, Fiona Walker continues the story of Tash French, started in the novel ‘French Relations’. A misunderstanding leads to Tash and her actor-boyfriend, Niall, getting engaged – not that they mind as they think that this is exactly what they wanted anyway. There are plenty of the old characters from ‘French Relations’ here: Alexandra, Pascal and Hugo are all there, along with some new characters who all add to the madness of the story ...

Advantages: Reading Well Groomed after French Relations is a great opportunity to follow up some really interesting characters. The book does not disappoint and is extremely hard to put down. An excellent book which I have no problem reading again and again! Disadvantages: Being such a good book it is really a shame to have to put it down wherever you are in the book to carry on with your normal life!
When I read French Relations a while ago I found it extremely amusing and enjoyable. Then when I found the sequel I couldn't wait to read it and it didn't disappoint. Following most of the characters from the first book it gives us the chance to enjoy new storylines and themes, new secrets and problems, and it gives all the characters a chance to resolve everything which was left hanging in the first book. Also the characters involved range from ... ...either see bits of themselves or other people. As a stand-alone book it is also very enjoyable, there is no need to read both books to enjoy both books anyway. If you enjoy scatty, funny and interesting characters then read any of Fiona Walkers novels because I have not read one so far which I did not enjoy. ...
