Publisher's summary

A quirky lesbian romance about love never being quite where you expect.

Anna's life's in a bit of a rut. As a teacher with two great kids and a boyfriend, she seems to have it all. Except...she's bored as hell. Perhaps a new hobby's in order? Something...crafty?

Divorced mother and veteran Ollie has been through the wars, emotionally and physically. To relax, she runs a quirky crochet class in her London craft shop. She can't help but notice the attractive, feisty new student. A shame Anna's straight as an arrow.

But somewhere between the chain stitches, doubles, and trebles, Ollie and Anna form a powerful connection they never expected.

Contains mature themes.

A Terrific Story

Wonderful characters and narration. Two women who have been dealt a blow meet in a yarn shop. Ollie is a veteran after a terrible injury in Afghanistan. Now estranged from her family she runs a craft business. Annie is a teacher with great kids but I bored. Ollie runs a crochet class and enjoys the new student. A great book for older women.

Perfectly paced romance

The narration was wonderful as was the story to create a perfectly paced romance. I appreciated that the two characters were older women both experiencing new love. Highly recommend!

Pleasantly British

This was a good book for older women like me, not many books are for mature and about mature women, so this was a pleasant surprise. loved the characters the story line.
Narration was great

Sweet love story

Long time till the characters get together
But the build up was worth the wait
Both women were admirable

Quirky? Lesbian romance?

The title details may need revamping. Over half way done with this book and I’m still waiting for the lesbian romance aspect and the quirk. 5.5 hours into this 12 hour book and one of the main characters finally breaks up with her boyfriend (yes boyfriend). 6 hours in and same said character finally acknowledges she *might* be attracted to women while the other main character shares a very sedate kiss with another woman. 6.5 hours in and the two main women have decided on a date.

To me, quirky implies that I’ll laugh a few times and at least smirk at a joke. I’m still waiting for the ghost of a smile to occur.

Also, who starts a lesbian romance with your main character getting blown up in a war?!

For the first full 5+ hours of this 12 hour book I’ve questioned if the title details and the audio of the book itself were somehow switched from other books.

I’ll continue listening but I highly doubt much will change. At least nothing that will prompt me to change or update my review.

Too Predictable

The story line was mediocre, predictable and left a lot to be desired. The narrator was ok but not great. Overall I gave the book 2 stars because at least it had a "happy" ending.
