I really loved Mad About Ewe!! Dawn is in her late 40s - divorced and pursuing her passion of owning and running a yarn store now that her kids are grown up and living on their own. She’s surprised one day when Mike comes into her store - the same guy she had a major crush on back in high school. He looks great and after a short conversation she invites him to get dinner and he declines - reminding her of how embarrassed she was after his rejection 30 years ago.
There are so many things I loved about this story. I loved main characters who are fully formed adults with life experience making them who they are now. I loved the glimpses of characters I knew from the Knitting in the City books. I LOVED Dawn’s yarn store and that this is a book with a clear love of knitting - calling out specific yarns and knitting patterns. And of course I loved the romance - so good!!
Thank you to the author Susannah Nix for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy of the ebook.

Predictable romance? Absolutely! But I liked the characters. And I liked that they weren’t 20 year olds but actually middle age, with middle age issues to think and worry about.
Open door if you care about that sort of thing.

2nd chance romance about a cocky boy who rebuffed the quirky but sweet girl because she wasn’t popular. Now they are 30 years out from graduation and both are divorced.
Love these two and how they reconnect as grown ups.

I wish there’d been obvious trigger warnings for this book, cause it covers some pretty heavy topics — cancer and grief/ depression. Plus a bit of a foot fetish lol. I would usually avoid reading about any/ all of these topics. It was well written, just not what I was expecting at all going in.
