Maybe its because I relate to the main character but can't recommend it highly enough.

I absolutely adore this book.

Couldn't put it down and go the end-of-a-good-book-blues when it finished. As a crafter and a chick lit fan I was in my element but even a non-crafter could enjoy the book. I do want to know what happens and there is definitely enough going on to merit a sequel. I loved the style of writing and the narration was perfect. Will be waiting for the sequel with fingers crossed!!!

Perfect for a romantic crafter

I enjoyed the turnarounds of the main character, and I felt that it always stayed true to herself, but I felt the ending was a bit too much. I have my doubts someone like Max would simply change his whole life for someone he had met just a couple of times. But that’s just me. The characters are wholesome and it’s a really nice story over all.

The struggle of a 40 yo

Loved this book even though it had its sad bits it was also uplifting, and being a crafter liked that part of the storyline as well.
