The blurb:
Hilarious and touching, Primrose
Terrace will appeal to fans of Lucy Diamond, Cathy Bramley and Trisha Ashley.
'A gem…I loved it’ Alexandra Brown
It’s autumn and Primrose Terrace
has never looked lovelier. But things are far from rosy for the Barker’s at
No.6. Cat’s been walking their pair of gorgeous Golden Retrievers and she’s
noticed that things are distinctly chilly between owners Juliette and Will. For
Cat, things are coming to a head with Mark, but is he the right man for her?
Especially as she is getting closer to flatmate Joe. Cat thinks she must be
able to do something to stop autumn falling on the Barker’s marriage, but is
there anything she can do to resolve her feelings about Mark?
Raincoats and Retrievers is the
third part of a serialized novel told in four parts – all set in Primrose
Terrace.
My Opinion:
Raincoats and Retrievers is
the third part of this series. It was lovely getting back to Primrose Terrace
and seeing all these lovely characters again.
Cat finally goes on a date
with Mark, they have a wonderful time, but then suddenly the day after he is
all weird and goes to London for several weeks. That made me grow even more
suspicious on him and there was just something I didn’t like.
In the meantime Cat got to
spend a lot of time with Joe. He is really nice and always there for her. That
also means that they get closer and it makes Cat feel great. I was actually
secretly hoping for something to happen between them.
Mark comes back and
afterwards something more and deeper happened between them, I’m still not sure
if I’m happy with that. I’m just really curious how it all will turn out in the
last part of the series.
In this part Cat’s parents
turn up as well and we get to read about her best friend Polly a bit more as
well. We also get to know some other inhabitants of Primrose Terrace as
well.
Cat is just great and she
shows a lot of strength and determination in this book. She has to fight for
her little dog walking business once more, but she just does a great job.
Cressida continues her
fabulous writing, with her unique and fresh voice once more. The setting of
Fairview and Primrose Terrace is beautiful, perfect also for all these dogs. Her
style is sparkly, young, magical and really vivid and she just gives you this
warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I’m so excited for part 4 now!!!
