Darn Knit All (All Access #3)
Evie Mitchell
Theo You might be asking yourself how a guy like me ended up on a fashion reality TV show. You may also be asking why I agreed to be a designer’s apprentice with no intelligible sewing skills. Cake. Delicious, fluffy, flour-laden, sugary cake—the beginning of my downfall. If it weren’t for that cake, I’d have never bribed Mai Sakamoto for more. We’d have never developed a friendship. I wouldn’t know of her dreams to become a fashion designer. And I’d sure as hell would never have ended up on a reality TV show to help her chase those dreams. Real knight in shining armor moves, right? Our friendship was a match made in heaven… before the show put us up in a one-bed hotel room. Now my lines are blurry and I can’t help but wonder, could Mai be my perfect fit? Mai Every day I’m battling imposter syndrome, anxiety, and abject terror—and why? Is it for prize money? Fame? The opportunity for my designs to be seen around the world? Nope. It’s because of Theo. Beautiful, hilarious, frustrating Theo. Theodore Garrett believes in me. He believes I’ve got what it takes to win this crazy competition. He quiets the doubts in my head, pushing me toward my dream life. Only, I don’t know how to tell him that my dreams don’t include fashion shows and exclusive lines, and instead feature… him. Darn Knit All.

What I Loved
Characters
This book just gave me a vibe. I loved Mai and Theo so much. They were both so sweet together, and each had a fun story to follow. The supporting characters in this book were great as well. I love the friend group in this series a lot. I love how supportive most of the characters in this story were of each other. There were some fun sibling scenes between Mai and her brother Ren in the book that I loved.
Plot
I’m not really one for books with a reality TV element, but oh man did I love this one. The TV show plays a big part of the story, but it wasn’t the entire book which was why I loved it. At its core, this book is a journey of Mai growing more confident in her designs, and Theo supporting her dreams which I loved.
Writing
I read this series a little out of order, so this was my second book by Evie Mitchell. I enjoyed Knot My Type, so I signed up for her ARC Team just to see, and I loved this one. I loved the Duel POV, and experiencing the story from both Mai and Theo. The banter was fun! I loved the inclusion of text messages in this book, it was an additional way the relationship developed which I loved. There were some very real discussions in this book, particularly surrounding anxiety which I loved. Darn Knit All is the perfect mixture of humor and heart.
Rep
This was the first book I’ve read with a prosthetic user which I loved! There was great mental health and anxiety rep in this story which was one of my favorite things. Mai was Japanese, and I loved how she included her culture in her clothing designs.
Romance
This book had me from friends to lovers, and then I was along for the ride. I love a good forced proximity romance, and this one had a great way of the couple being forced together. One bed is never a bad thing in my book, and I loved the way one bed played out in this book.
