Rating 3/5
audio book
This book was just so so for me. It wasn't bad, but really didn't catch my attention very well. It was very slow moving and the characters were hard to get into. They weren't very deep. I think Jacobs needed to have less main characters and go deeper into them. I did like how it was about strong women who can survive without men on their own and that they an succeed at what they want. I also liked how knitting was the theme of the novel. I really need to get out my knitting and finish some projects. However, there was much in the book that was unrealistic and didn't sit right with me. I also felt that the ending was too contrived. Everything worked out perfectly except for Georgia, who Jacobs killed, almost as if she didn't know what else to do.
There was much that was unbelievable. First, Lucie having a baby on her own without telling the father that it was his. Second, Darwin's husband coming back to her just because she sends him a sweater after she cheated on him. Georgia takes James back after he deserted her and Dakota. Fourth, none of the women went to the doctor.
I'm not sure if I will give this author another chance. She showed potential in her debut novel, but we'll see.
