"If I'm stuck on my planet," Danielle pointed out, "I'm gonna plant flowers there."

So good.
So adorable. So honest and at times raw. So healing.
This is a short-but-Very-sweet novelette about precious, creative, clever girls growing closer and bonding over art, yarn nerdery, and healing past traumas. So, like, everything I love in a book, even if I don't know the first thing about yarn or yarn accessories - but the writer clearly does/has done the research. And the romance is so good that even the yarn-uninitiated like me can get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
The narration is light and quick, and the interactions are natural and endearing, with the whole thing paced so well that you could probably get through this in an hour or so even if it were longer. (I did in one sitting, wasn't able to stop.) Also, there is a tuxedo cat named after the Phantom of the Opera, so 5 stars are basically assured here. And the title is a pun. I had no chance.
Highly recommended. So very much. If you want a little bit of warmth, catharsis, and a lot of warm fuzzies, please pick this up. It feels like a sweater right out of the dryer, knit with a lot of love.
