A Good Yarn (Blossom Street, #2)
Debbie Macomber
You might have heard about a wonderful little yarn shop in downtown Seattle. Debbie Macomber can take you there! In the year since it opened, 'A Good Yarn' has thrived and so has Lydia Hoffman, the owner. A lot of that is due to Brad Goetz. But when Brad's ex-wife reappears, Lydia is suddenly afraid to trust her newfound happiness. Elise Beaumont joins one of Lydia's popular knitting classes. Living with her daughter, Aurora, Elise learns that her onetime husband plans to visit and that Aurora wants a relationship with her father, regardless of how Elise feels about him. Bethanne Hamlin is facing the fallout from a divorce and joins the knitting class as the first step in her effort to recover a sense of dignity and hope. Courtney Pulanski is a depressed and overweight teenager. She's staying with her grandmother, who's trying to help by taking her to the knitting class at 'A Good Yarn.' Four women, brought together by the craft of knitting, find companionship and comfort in each other. Who would've thought that knitting socks could change your life? ©2005 Debbie Macomber (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.

0 0Okay, I really don't do this often. I didn't finish this book. In fact, I only got a couple of chapters in before I gave up. I read the first book in this series and I was not impressed. Being as I have liked some movies I've seen that were based on books by this author, I wanted to give it another try. Ugh! I feel the writing was so stilted and, like the first book, like Macomber had a list of items she wanted to cover and just checked off as she went along.
I'm either a glutton for punishment or not as smart as I like to seem, but I will give the author another shot. Not in this series though. I just find it so hard to believe that she sells so many books if there isn't something in her writing that I'm missing. In neither case was it the actual story I didn't like, but the writing style. Which leads me to hope that she used this style for this series and there will be more of a natural flow to her other books. We shall see...
