I wasn’t expecting to like this book so much. It was an impulse purchase, a book i set aside and picked up yesterday thinking I’d dnf if i wasn’t feeling it.
I felt it.
Julia Walton does a beautiful job of portraying Leo’s anxiety without making it the entire focus of the story. As a fellow anxious Greek knitter, I was destined to like him.
Evey was a bit of a manic pixie dream girl, but I’m willing to overlook it. Drake was an awesome addition to the cast. And the yoga class was hysterical and as well as heartwarming.
So thanks Ms. Walton. I’ve been in a reading slump and you just tugged me back up and made me smile.
