I adored this book.
I've loved the Knitting in the City series for years and I was utterly delighted in a book that features Janie and Quinn's son (Desmond) and Fiona and Greg's daughter (Ava) as childhood best friends turned lovers who are just full of SO MUCH YEARNING for each other. Desmond has ADHD and bipolar and the representation is amazing (I literally texted my group chat one of the lines about inattentive ADHD and it just SAW us) and truly everyone deserves and is capable of getting an amazing love story. I can't recommend this book enough, and hope she writes more 2nd gen Knitting/Winston Bros books.
Thank you so much to the author for an ARC; I know I'm your target audience and I couldn't be more happy to have read this book.
