This book was slow to start for me, but I really enjoyed it overall! There are some familiar romance tropes - unexpected roommates, a long undisclosed crush, a playboy secretly in love with the good natured sweet girl. However, there was also the unique backdrop of four brothers running their adoptive mother's knitting shop after her unexpected death, and the fact that Carrie, the female love interest, was a strong, independent woman, rather than a damsel in need of saving or an insecure woman who over thinks everything.

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 was so awful. It was such a slow burn, it wasn’t funny, the exciting parts weren’t even actually exciting. I gave it one star just for being written but wow this took a lot out of me to read!

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.
