I feel like i lost 6 hours of my life when I listened to this book. I borrowed it for 3 weeks and barely felt like reading this dry story. After looking at most of the reviews I realized I wasn't alone in how I felt. When I put the book on my tbr pile I was a brand new knitter and the premise to the story sounded exciting but almost 10 years later and I'm mad that I bothered. There were sooooo many problematic things in this story that I could point out right now. I seriously though this book would be about a book club and the people in the book club but barely any scenes were at the book club.
That within itself was problematic but another huge thing for me was that the writer decided to use a racial stereotype and cliche. The main character, Georgia, falls in love with and gets pregnant by a black man by the name of James. James abandons her leaving her to raise a biracial daughter. My problem is as a writer myself I'm not sure the motives behind this. Why does the man who abandoned her needs to be black? This whole badly written story just pissed me off.
