We were all different. Different jobs, different friends, different life goals, different family situations but for one or two days a week we came together to just run. Nothing else mattered. We looked forward to seeing each other and catching up but yet we rarely socialized outside of our runtime. <br/> <br/>When I saw this book at the library it reminded me of my running group. It sounded like the perfect girly book to be a surrogate for my running group. It did not disappoint and reinforced the idea that friends and groups help make a place feel more welcoming. <br/> <br/>The characters are just everyday people. There is nothing unique about them, what is unique is that knitting brought them together. The one character I did not like was the 40yr old that found a guy just to get pregnant and then doesn't tell anyone she is pregnant. Her character was strange and irritating. <br/> <br/>I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a quick dose of female bonding. <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/726294?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
