Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid
5.0
Knitting in the City has fast become one of my favorite romantic comedy series, and Beauty and the Mustache is now one of my favorite books within the series. I started listening to the audio book version when I needed a pick me up, and it delivered in a big way. Joy Nash’s narration is perfection—southern accent and all.
This is Ashley Winston’s story, and the setting moves from Chicago to backwoods Tennessee when Ashley returns to her hometown to care for an ailing family member. The change of scenery doesn’t mean the ladies from the knitting circle aren’t present. They are very much included in the story, and I can’t seem to get enough of these hilarious and supportive women. They are ride or die friends.
Coming home means a long overdue reunion with Ashley’s five colorful brothers. I’ve already read the Winston Brothers books, so it was especially exciting to learn more about their history. I absolutely adored Ashley and her strong yet humble personality. Her wise mama and Drew—the inscrutable, poetic Park Ranger hottie—are two major shining stars of the story.
I was surprised by the amount of truly touching moments there are; however, the typical humor you would expect from a Penny Reid novel is sprinkled generously throughout. I can always depend on her clever writing, entertaining characters, and thoughtful plotting of storylines. Ditto for Beauty and the Mustache.
