However, I found myself more invested in certain storylines over others. While I didn't mind Aubrey playing a prominent role in the novel (I identified with her character the most), I wish Bitty and Meggie's stories played equal weight as well. I did not connect with them as well as I had with Aubrey's story. The magical element also did not factor in the story as prominently or seemed as "magical" as it initially sounded.
Nonetheless fans of Sarah Addison Allen may enjoy this novel as well as readers who enjoy small-town settings, novels with elements of magical realism and knitters (I don’t knit but it was interesting to read a bit about it).
