What A Perfect Proposal is about:
From the moment Sophie hits the bright lights of Manhattan she's determined to enjoy every minute of her big adventure. So when an evening at an art gallery throws her into the path of Matilda, a spirited old lady who invites her to Connecticut for Thanksgiving, Sophie willingly accepts, much to the dismay of Matilda's grandson Luke.
Katie Fforde once again wrote a book that helped me escape the daily grind for a few hours. I'm such a sucker for Brit Chick Lit and this is one that I really adored!! Sophie is such a sweet, caring, and sympathetic character. I was able to like her immediately and suspend all disbelief as her story took me from England, to America, and back to England, where she unexpectedly finds her HEA. Matilda was a character that I took quickly to my heart as I have a soft spot for older people and their life stories. The ending was perfect and overall the reading experience was very enjoyable!!
Recommend? Sure!! If you like Brit Chick Lit then you need to add Fforde to your list of books to read. The stories and characters are charming!
