Following the beloved #1 New York Times bestseller The Friday Night Knitting Club is this charming story of sisterhood. At the Manhattan knitting store founded by Georgia Walker, the members of the Friday Night Knitting Club—including Georgia’s college-age daughter, Dakota—rely on each other for help, even as they struggle with new challenges: for Catherine, finding love after divorce; for … finding love after divorce; for Darwin, the hope for a family; for Lucie, being both a single mom and a caregiver for her elderly mother; and for seventy-something Anita, a proposal of marriage from her sweetheart, Marty, that provokes the objections of her grown children.

Could not get into it. Nothing about it held my interest
As a knitter, I enjoy books that feature my hobby. This was a little disappointing after The Friday Night Knitting Club, but it was well written and the characters were well developed. My problem was that the strongest character was no longer there.
This is the second book in the series and it got off to a much slower start, but the growth that each character showed and the storyline, once it got going, was quite good. An interesting and unique storyline to carry the characters further on their journey and figuring out the answers to life entertains, while the characters are really starting to show a depth that is interesting and intriguing. I look forward to seeing what happens to the characters in the next book.
