It liked the concept but I think the book failed with the execution. The development of the relationship was unconvincing, the dialogue between the two lost the charm eventually and the whole episode with Justin felt really surreal like the author was trying very hard for me to believe that Tiffy had gained that amount of personal growth meanwhile her narrative from the previous chapters supplied little to help with that. The plot of the story was heavily focused in the dialogue and much less would be known about the characters. The crochet part didn’t particularly add anything to the story.
I wouldn’t go as far to say the book was bad but it was lacking in creating multi dimensional characters and most of it was uneventful.
