I know that it has been awhile since I posted and that this post is a few months late, but I thought I had to share my thoughts about this book. Kate Jacobs takes chic lit to the next level! This group of characters meets at Walker&Daughter, a cozy little yarn shop on Manhattan’s Upper West Side to share their lives and their projects. The group ranges in age from Dakota, who is trying to figure out her place in the world as a college student attending cooking school and trying to decide if she is still into her Italian boyfriend from her summer in Europe to Anita Lowenstein the grandmother of group who is fussing over her wedding and family.
The first book in this series is called The Friday Night Knitting Club and Dakota is in her earlier teens when we are introduced to group and the shop.
If you like this sort of book you might like to read Earlene Fowler’s work which is set in California around a craft museum and its curator. The books are titled with quilt patterns. The main character is usually dealing with some sort of mystery.
Janet Evanovich’s two series have a more casual language to them with a Jersey dialect. One is about a newspaper owner and the other involves a less than successful female bounty hunter.
