Kiss Chase Fiona Walker 9780340723432 Books

I am reading this book and am more than halfway through and I still don't know why the author named this book Kiss Chase. A more apt title would have been Revenge is Best Served Cold. Anyway, if you have read most of the reviews then you know this a book about a girl named Saskia who gets dumped by a gorgeous model named Felix after they get engaged. Saskia is so down in dumps (losing her looks and getting fat) that she gets her old frenemy Phoebe to seduce and dump Felix in a most public and humiliating way. As in most of Fiona Walker's book, the main guy is a gorgeous but an utter jerk who turns out to be a sweet and insecure guy underneath it all and the main girl is a shy and insecure girl who manages to get it together by the end of the story and get her guy. What stands out for me in Kiss Chase is the obvious chemistry between Phoebe and Felix while they do their dance of "will they or won't they?". I didn't really care for Saskia so I didn't care if Phoebe avenged her or not. I also didn't care for Phoebe's married lover Dan who should just stick to his horsey looking wife aptly named Mitzi (see my name and no, I do not look like a horse). The whole time I am reading the book I am rooting for Phoebe and Felix. I read French Relations and loved that book and now I am loving Kiss Chase although I still don't get the title. I have all her books and plan to enjoy them one by one.

Kiss Chase Fiona Walker 9780340723432 Books Reviews

Review

820 pages, an army of relevant/irrelevant character thrown at you from first couple of pages, all the uncountable character relationship connections, a hero that doesn't make his appearance until well into the book... at first glance a book that needs a lot of patience and good memory capacity to get through. But despite all this or actually because of these details this is my all time favorite romance! And has stayed on the nr 1 pedestal from since I was seventeen.

The ridiculous to be reality plot is what drew me in, I love reluctant romance and the angst that most definitely comes with it! I also love a book with good banter between the main characters that you basically memorize because it's just that good. Moreover the book and main characters are witty, sexy and so quirky, sometimes embarrassingly so (eg. the Snoopy tattoo), but everything fits perfectly. And being located in Britain with British characters at least for me is always a plus.

The whole idea for Saskia to ask Phoebe to seduce Felix to have revenge is weird, desperate and stupid. But that the catalyst for all the awesomeness to come. It takes time for the story to start taking speed but when it does you won't know what hit you. All the characters and details that might have annoyed you fall to the far background and you can only focus on Phoebe and Felix dancing around each other trying to bring the other down, but they end up hitting each other, hard. The aftermath a love that neither of them thought they wanted but both desperately needed.

Characters

Phoebe is just so sympathetic and adorable, she gets herself into crazy situations, doesn't really care what people might think about her but at the same time let's herself be used like a doormat by people that should actually care about her. She hasn't really found her place in life and seems lost. I also wasn't really fond of some relationships she had, but her not being your typical heroine made her unique and more relatable. I love that she is extremely witty, funnily awkward at times and her ability to get out of sticky situations, which happen a lot, is just pure comedy gold. The Swedish bar waiter, the bar in Paris, etc- I have a post it on all the pages these scenes start. Her subconscious and at times deliberate attempts to rebel and ruin her chances with Felix make for some hilarious banter and unbelievably funny circumstances. Unfortunately for Phoebe, all this wackiness makes Felix like her more and more. And well, Phoebe isn't far behind in liking Felix back.

Oh Felix, alone the description Fiona Walker was able to write for Felix made my mouth drool long before he was actually introduced in person. I didn't help that I was a teenager when I first read the book and he is like a boy band beauty to a young girl. The guy isn't even in the story yet, but everything revolved around him and how inhumanly gorgeous, charming and an absolute dream he is. At the same time he is also described as being the lowest of the low regarding women and attitude so overall you are presented him as a conceited nasty angel face. He is so much more than that. I don't really always like the "because of my childhood and relationship with my parents" card excuse for men to act like total jerks, and Felix really is bratty, spoiled, moody and slightly tortured. But FW manages to make everything work in his favor and you just have to adore him. He's the type of guy you have to hate but in the end can't, maybe I'm masochistic but I know I'm not the only one who thought what if I can find my own Felix. I don't think that would ever actually work out in reality with a guy with his personality so it's all good that this is only a book! He truly is gorgeous, charming and an absolute dream and even his shortages make him more endearing when he finds the right person to love. And he and Phoebe are perfect, they are so similar but at the same time they compensate for each others weaknesses. End result squeal-worthy romance!

As mentioned before the book is bustling with all variety of characters to hate, to love, to root for, to be curious about, to think "do you even have a purpose here?", etc. Some honorable mentions Dylan - the true as a dog BF of Felix, Saskia - who you just love to hate but also sympathies with, Mungo - Felix's naughty brother, ... - Friend of Phoebe you just want to know more about, etc. The list is endless. The side characters are quite clichéd but, honestly, in the end I didn't even care because there was so much hilarity in the story to make up for it.

Overall

Among all the awesome things I just have to compliment Fiona Walker for her talent to write lots of detailed but never boring descriptions. The characters and situations just come alive with so many references to pop culture, British life, what was trendy at the time the book was written, etc. Her wide use of imaginative, colorful and detailed vocabulary is just a joy to read.

I reread it constantly, am a fan of Fiona Walker because if this book and it just doesn't get old for me even though I read it 10 years ago. A definite keeper!
loved it. fun read.
Tight, witty writing with loveable characters and a believable plot. Phoebe and Felix sizzle on page loved it from the first word recommend to everyone!
After a very long time of not reading Fiona Walkers' books, I'm more than happy to tell you that I loved this book and did no want it to end. I really felt that I was losing a friend. Great. read.
I've read nearly every book she's written and absolutely loved them all, but this one beats everything! Really good depth of characters, funny, witty and honest. Can't say more because it would spoil the sweetness of the sadness.
