the friday night knitting club by kate jacobs

genre: fiction

recap: {back cover} once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a new york city yarn shop to work on their latest projects - and share teh stories of their lives...

at the center of walker and daughter is the shop's owner, georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her friday night knitting club, where she and her friends - anita, peri, darwin, lucie and k.c. - exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. but when the man who once broke georgia's heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her world is shattered.

luckily, georgia's friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. and when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they've created isn't just a knitting club: it's a sisterhood.

review: very good, but i was really disappointed at the end. i hate when things like that happen, so random and out of nowhere like the author wasn't sure how to end everything. i know that's how things happen in real life but books aren't supposed to be real. that's why i read fiction. still good, and made me want to knit. i actually went out and bought some knitting needles and tried it, but it took me about a week to make one little square so i went back to crochet. this book has a couple sequels, i might read those too.
