I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
When Dee’s brother breaks both of his arms, she has to head home to take care of him and his knitting shop. However, when she is fired from her demanding city job and her professional reputation is ruined, she has to accept the slower pace of life and turns her focus to helping to improve her brother’s business. The move home to her childhood village is a shock, but the friends that she make being a whole new set of challenges to her life.
This book was a really lighthearted and fun read, with a sweet cast of characters and, as a knitting fan, I absolutely loved the focus on knitting. This book felt like one of those warm and fuzzy hallmark movies – big corporations trying to take over a small family run business, a charity fundraiser to knit hats for premature babies, an old friend blossoming into romance. This is a perfect lazy weekend read!
The only reason that this book didn’t get a fifth star was that the pacing felt a bit off at times. There was a long middle, with a lot happening in the last few chapters. Of course, the genre of book isn’t one that means that this feels overwhelming, with lots of action and drama, but some of the storylines could have been a bit better spread out over the course of the book.
