How To Knit A Heart Back Home (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

I enjoyed this a pure escapist read. It's a quick and light and fun read.As a knitter, I loved all the knitting! A town full of knitters, the wonderful and amazing Eliza Carpenter character (finding her lost papers and deciding what they would do with them was such a fun part of the book), and all the little knitting details (fingering a stitch marker in her pocket, needles jabbing her through her backpack). It's the knitting that brought me to this book, because I'm not usually a big romance reader (my recent tour through some Patricia Briggs paranormal series notwithstanding). That's because I find the tropes of romance to be a bit annoying. Big strong protector guy! (Well, unless he's actually a werewolf, then it's cool). Weak at the knees when they look at each other! Lots of chemistry but it seems like it will never work out! But you know, those tropes exist for a reason - they work. And I did enjoy the characters' chemistry. Cypress Hollow doings continue. In their 30s now, Lucy and Owen have been carrying torches for each other since high school. In fact, Lucy is sort of mired in HS drama. She is running her granny's book shop, just staying afloat, when Owen returns to Cypress Hollow to take care of his mom. He has been injured during police work, has to retire; and mom has Alzheimer's disease. When Owen brings some boxes of used romances to Lucy's shop to resell she buys them out of pity. What she finds in the bottom is treasure. Signed firsts of Eliza's books and, get this the notes that will make a wonderful posthumous tome on knitting and life. Once again Eliza is reaching back from the grave to enrich someone's life. Her gift ripples through the community once again.Great characters in Lucy and Owen's family. Abigail and Cade have cameos.

What do You think about How To Knit A Heart Back Home (2011)?

I finished it but didn't think the characters were particularly interesting or even lifelike.

Fun. Silly. But not too many eye rolls. I say, for a beach-y summery read, success.
