Rival newspaper columnists Dylan and Veronica ("Ronnie") have been challenging each other to crazy stunts every month, such as sky-diving, or getting a tattoo. It started when something Dylan said in an article implied that men were better at things than women were, and the monthly challenges began. When it's Ronnie's turn again, she challenges Dylan to learn to knit and make a viable article within the month.
I actually loved this, because I remember how much I fumbled around with knitting needles when I first started knitting. It was fun to see Dylan invade Ronnie's knitting group, which eventually turned into private knitting lessons from Ronnie. It was also fun to watch their love/hate relationship turn into just a love one.
This was a funny, relaxing read that I enjoyed. I've pulled the next two off of my shelf so that I can read them as well, since they are about others in the circle of friends from this book.
I really enjoyed this book, I felt the development of the characters played out nicely as well as problems that needed to be worked out. I found myself giddy and excited as the story went on and reluctant to close the book and set it aside, even though I'd finished it. I didn't want it to stop but to continue on so I could spend more time with these characters. I am a little on the edge of decisions though on whether to read the other books in this series, I'm just afraid it might not be as good as I found this one, even though it had repeated a few quotes or pieces a couple of times. I do wish a little more of Charlotte had been focused on seeing as she was the "matchmaker" of the story and someone I know could be an amazing character to get to know even better. But yeah, I really enjoyed it.
Betts is a great writer but this book is not as strong as her other books. Good sex scenes but book drags in spots.
