This book is a delight. Strong characters, well plotted narrative, and smart,  sexy tone. Not a wrong note anywhere in the text. I’m so glad this is the first book in the series because I don’t want to leave these characters yet! 🧶🧶🧶

While it is a romance, this book is also a story about family and grief. It talks about families, by blood, by legality, and, most importantly, by heart. It is about community, both the good and bad parts. And it’s about finding your place in the world, your community, and yourself. Oh, and knitting. 

I picked up this book because it had knitting in the title and looked like fun and absolutely loved it! I highly recommend picking it up!

This book definitely could have been longer. I loved the build up and all the turmoil but the ending felt a bit rushed. I would have loved if we got more time for Kerry and Jesse to figure things out.

A fun read! In the middle the pacing seemed slow (I’m talking progress in the plot, not the progression of the romance. The slow burn romance worked). Then the last few chapters felt rushed. But overall I really enjoyed it and I’m excited for the next book in this series!
