A review by sophiereadsstories
Visible Mending by M. Arbon

4.0

This was such a lovely, low-heat, slow-burn read with quite a few gender nonconforming and nonbinary/agender characters. It is the second in the Clover Hill Romance Series , but I read it as a standalone and was able to follow who everyone is and how they relate to one another with no problem. 

It follows the story of neighbours Edd - a baker, sunshine, patient, cheerful, wonderful friend, who has a killer sense of style, living their life free and open; and Carey - a textile artist, shy, a bit lonely, recovering from a divorce, learning who they are and creating a new life.

I loved how slowly and naturally Edd and Carey's relationship develops. This is most definitely a slow burn, but it feels natural for the characters and where they are in their lives. I got the feeling that both Edd and Carey treat their attraction to each other and their relationship as something so precious and in need of careful handling, and it was lovely to read.

Their love story was as sweet and heartwarming as the baking goods Edd delivers with love and as precious and valuable as the textiles that Carey repairs!

I will definitely be reading the rest of the Clover Hill series.
