Friends Don't Let Friends Knit Drunk

I hope we're allowed to start posting about this book; I don't remember whether we got a start date, but I thought I remembered that Thanksgiving weekend was the end point.

I really enjoyed this one.  It was an easy read, in my opinion, and I liked each of the main characters.  The neatness with which each girl ended up with her respective man (and the pairing of who would end up with whom) was quite easy to predict, but not so much of an anvil that it took away from the storyline.  All of the girls had their flaws, but I felt like they also had positive qualities to balance them out so that they were not unsympathetic at all.

I thought James was a big, honking jerk from the very beginning, and didn't fully understand why Lucy put up with his crap for long.   I think Lucy was my favorite of the three knister girls, and I was wanting her to show her spine and kick him to the curb earlier than she did!

I also thought it was cute to include the knitting-theme names to the drink recipes at the end of the book.

I liked the book too but I think I am easy to please. I read the one she wrote before this one and didn't really like it at all.

This one had characters I could get into, it was a fast read, but a bit predictable. I didn't really get the knitting thing but perhaps there is a trend out there that I don't know about.

I couldn't stand James and wanted him to be kicked in the teeth as soon as possible. I would have vandalized his car just because he was a jackass....

I followed Mishka over to the blog. I hope you don't mind me chiming in. This is the first book I've ever finished for a book club, so thanks for the inspiration!

I enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, the dialogue was quick and entertaining and I liked the characters. It was a bit predictable, but still fun to see if they would get their acts together and see what was right in front of them.

I would have kicked James to the curb long before she did, especially if my boyfriend raked my best friend over the coals like that on the first meeting. Will girls really put up with that crap to have a pretty face around?

The knitting references were totally lost on me, but I appreciated a group of women having a common interest to bring them together like that.
