The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber

This was another book that came in the mail unordered. This is more the type of romance I can’t really handle. It just was too contrived. Yes we all have our life’s crisis and knitting actually is a very meditative activity (a friend of mine knits in meetings at work all the time), but all the situations were too contrived. Lydia opens a yarn shop after surviving two bouts with cancer, Jacqueline is blind to the merits of her new daughter-in-law, Carol is the perfect woman, but can’t have a baby, and Alix is a punk young woman who just incidentally comes up with a child for Carol. Everyone ends up in a good relationship or improves the one they had. Yeah, right….
(read late July)
