The New York Times bestselling sensation that's "Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan" (USA Today)-now in paperback.
Juggling the demands of her yarn shop and single-handedly raising a teenage daughter has made Georgia Walker grateful for her Friday Night Knitting Club. Her friends are happy to escape their lives too, even for just a few hours. But when Georgia's ex suddenly reappears, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her whole world is shattered.
Luckily, Georgia's friends are there, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they've created isn't just a knitting club: it's a sisterhood.

Summary: Friday night knitting club
Comment: I am not a advid reader,but this book was one of the BEST books I have ever read. I love how I could relate to the characters. This book draws you into every character. It was an affirmation of what I believe Everything happens for a reason. You might not know why,but in the end it works out most of the time. Can't wait to read Knit Two.

Summary: The Friday Night Knitting Club, by Kate Jacobs
Comment: At first I found this to be a slow reader, however, it could have been just me. I have enjoyed the book, and look forward to the second one.

Summary: Knitting
Comment: I love to knit and thought this would be a great book to read. I loved it and will read it again. I am glad the author came out with a second book to this which is excellent as well.
Customer Rating:
Summary: formulaic
Comment: I didn't even bother to finish this. I wasn't expecting the great American novel- but something light and entertaining. It was so predictable it was boring. Characters and plot felt plugged into a formula, as though the author was picturing it being made into a cheesy movie as she wrote it. Too many books in the world and too little time to spend it on ones like this.

Summary: Flawed but cozy
Comment: I enjoyed this book. It's not perfect but I liked coming to know these women. The main character is Georgia, who owns a knitting shop, which is the setting for much of the book. She has a 12 yr old biracial daughter, Dakota, whose father is an ex-boyfriend, who has come back into their lives after many years. The other main characters are members of the knitting group that meets at the store. They are a quirky bunch.
Some of the characters are more developed than others and I did not like a few of the plot twists, especially towards the end. With so many characters, it's to be expected that some are weaker than others. Overall, I was satisfied to spend time with the ladies in this book. I do think the cover blurb has it right. Steel Magnolias in Manhattan...I agree. I am looking forward to the movie.
