Review:
If you're reading a lightweight `30-something woman doesn't know where she's going in life' novel, you generally know what to expect. The plots are usually predictable, and not what keeps you interested; it's how the author and the characters get to the inevitable ending that counts. Judy Astley is a great example of an author who knows how to turn a predictable plot into a charming read through strong characterisation and sharp dialogue. On the evidence of Life Skills, Katie Fforde isn't. From the first page the reader can see what will happen on the last, and none of the characters or situations are interesting enough to make you care what happens in between. Realism also appears to be sadly absent from the book too. Lead character Julia begins the book as a country estate agent - yet cannot drive. A recurring theme is the truth behind why Julia was sacked, but the real mystery seems to be how she got the job in the first place. Unfortunately by the time everything is tied up in a neat little package in the end, one crucial element to any novel - the reader's interest - has long since evaporated.
