Anna has risked everything to buy and renovate her tiny but beautiful cottage set in the sleepy village of Amberford.

The outside is perfect, but inside all is chaos: with a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, and only candles for lighting.

It's no wonder that Anna's soon wondering whether she's bitten off more than she can chew.

Her neighbour Chloe comes to the rescue: providing wine, sympathy and a rescue greyhound: Caroline

But just as Anna's starting to believe she's found the perfect idyll, good-looking but impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene, putting up more obstacles than Anna can deal with.

Can Anna make this work? Can she have her dream house and win round the perfect man?

Customer Reviews

Disappointing

I have read other Fforde books and enjoyed them. This not so much. Characters were rather superficially drawn and quite uninteresting. The entire book was dull and boring. It took a real effort to complete it.

Love it

I love Katie Fforde's books! This was a great one, not my favorite of hers, but a great read. Entertaining, fun and I'm glad I purchased it.

enjoyable

I'm generally a reader of paranormal romances but enjoy something on the lighter side once in awhile. Practically Perfect is a lovely light chic lit novel. It's not terribly exciting; it's just a small story about Anna who is working on her designing career fixing up and selling homes. She is unsophisticated but capable and sweet. Practically Perfect has many elements that make British Chic Lit fun to read; picturesque English country side, cottages, local village and market. I pictured Rob (the love interest) as Colin Firth from Love Actually...big and goofy but strong and sweet.
