Summary: Most Likable Heroine - Tash French
Review: I got into Fiona Walker after reading Jilly Cooper (another English author). I had bought all of Jilly's book and was hoping to find another Brit author as good as Jilly and Amazon recommended Fiona Walker.

I then went on a shopping spree and bought most of Fiona's book. I started with French Relations since it was her first book. At first I was disappointed because it did not "suck" me in like Jilly's book but I perservered and struggled throught the first chapter. I don't know what happened but once I got into reading the book, I could not stop.

The book is about a girl named Tash who is asked to spend the summer with her family in a French chateau. She really doesn't want to spend the summer with her neurotic family but decides to do it when she breaks up with her boyfriend.

You then move on to the Chateau where you will meet her family, friends and foe. The main characters in this book are Tash, a dashing actor named Niall and a gorgeous sportsman named Hugo. I won't give the plot away only to say that Tash is torn between these two men.

This book is different because Tash is unlike most heroine. She is not described as beautiful, graceful or feminine. She is actually klutzy, shy, tomboyish and thinks of herself as a freak because she has different colored eyes. I like the fact that the author has made a heroine that we could relate to. The fact that she has such a dysfunctional family and is so unsure of herself makes me root for Tash.

Buy this book and read it along with Well Groomed. You will thoroughly enjoy Tash and her family and you will get a taste of Fiona Walker. I love her......
