Very good story for teenage girls. The relationships felt real and the story was fun, emotional, complex, colorful and loaded with yarn. I'm not a teen anymore, but I really enjoyed this book.

I didn't realize that this book was classified as "Young Adult", but like many books intended for young people ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series and "The Book Thief" come to mind), I found the themes of friendship and pushing out of one's comfort zone to learn something new to be one I could easily relate to. The two days I spent reading this were an interesting and enjoyable experience. Recommended for "chicks" of all ages!

I was expecting this to be a knitting book; it's a novel aimed at young adults featuring knitting at the center of the story.

Not bad, just not what I expected. :->
