How to Knit a Heart Back Home by Rachael HerronMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I am not a fan of the romance genre--because it just doesn't work for me. Too redundant, too obvious what will happen and it takes waaayyy too many pages to get you what was going to happen that many pages ago.
So, why did I read this? Because I have been have been reading Rachael Herron's blog (yarnagogo.com) for years. She is a knitter, a very good writer and it has been really fun and interesting following her on her journey of dreaming of being an author to publishing her second book. When she writes another I will probably read that too. Being such a loyal reader, it feels like a friend has 'made it' and I am very, very happy for her and will keep buying her books.
This is the second in the series about the California town of Cypress Hollow and the typical romance formula is at work: unrequited love gets requited. Herron puts a few more current twists in it, and that is good.
It is well written, I would rate it higher but for my dislike of the forgone conclusion of romance wiriting.
If you like the romance genre, read this book!
