Knit The Season by Kate Jacobs




Goodreads Summary:

Knit the Season is a loving, moving, laugh-out-loud celebration of special times with friends and family. The story begins a year after the end of Knit Two, with Dakota Walker's trip to spend the Christmas holidays with her Gran in Scotland-accompanied by her father, her grandparents, and her mother's best friend, Catherine. Together, they share a trove of happy memories about Christmases past with Dakota's mom, Georgia Walker-from Georgia's childhood to her blissful time as a doting new mom. From Thanksgiving through Hanuk­kah and Christmas to New Year's, Knit the Season is a novel about the richness of family bonds and the joys of friendship.

My Thoughts:

I think I liked this book the best out of all three in the series. I actually cried a few times, which doesn't happen all that often with books. I really think the writing and character development took a step up in this book. I liked watching Dakota grow up and come into her own voice and stop whining so much about things and just do what needed to be done. I liked that each member of the Friday Night Knitting Club found some kind of peace or love. It was over the top sweet, but sometimes you just need that kind of happy ending book.

I don't know if Kate Jacobs is planning on writing another book for this series, in some ways I hope she doesn't just because I liked this one so much. I only wish that I had waited for the holiday season to read it. I am craving Thanksgiving dinner and looking forward to a quiet Christmas with my husband. I think he and I both decided to avoid our families this year and just enjoy time together. Oddly, this book talking so much about family time made me even less inclined than normal to spend time with family. 

I would recommend this to fans of the series or Kate Jacobs. This is definitely what some would call a Christmas read so I wouldn't read it until the season. 

While writing this review I was listening to Beethoven.
