Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl

Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl

by Hettie Bell

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Poppy has recently found herself to be pregnant by her looser ex boyfriend. Deciding to do what she thinks she should do, she visits planned parenting to set about sorting this out… 


While getting into the office she meets. A friendly and charismatic escort and inside she finds a supportive reception that enables her to make her own decision regarding the baby. She’s going to have and keep it.


But how can Poppy who never graduated college or really committed and completed anything actually commit to raising her baby??? With an obvious lack of emotional support from her family and her ex boyfriend, Poppy finds herself a surrogate family with a knitting group she decides to join and also a new girlfriend when one of the group members happens to be the friendly escort from the clinic!


With these supports set in place Poppy continues on her new adventure into adulting and motherhood. 


This one sided narration by Poppy really delved into her thoughts and feelings as she goes through these changes and fights emotional battles with her family and struggles with boundaries in her relationship. I enjoyed hearing the story from her side, but would have been interested in hearing girlfriend, Rhiannon thoughts and feelings as they work to find a balance in their relationship.


This book is heavily based around the MC’s pregnancy and I was worried that it would take away fro the romantic aspects of the book. I was please to find that though the pregnancy is a big issue between Poppy and Rhiannon, the relationship grows organically within the circumstances.


As always, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! A cute read that I could not put down and totally recommend! 


Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl by Hettie Bell is scheduled to release March 30th, 2021.

Book Description


Some people can’t wait to have babies. They’re ready for it—with their perfect lives and their pregnancy glow…


Poppy Adams doesn’t have a perfect life, and she wasn’t ready for the positive test. An unexpected baby—Poppy’s unexpected baby—won’t exactly have her family doing cartwheels. But she’s making the right choice.


Right?


Poppy’s totally got this. She just needs a little encouragement, and a knitting group is the perfect place to start. Baby blankets, booties, tiny little hats—small steps toward her new life. But she feels like she’s already dropped a stitch when she discovers the knitting group is led by the charismatic Rhiannon.


It’s not exactly a great time to meet the woman who might just be the love of her life. While the group easily shuffles around to make room for Poppy, it’s not so easy fitting her life and Rhiannon’s together. With the weeks counting down until her baby arrives, Poppy’s going to have to decide for herself what truly makes a family.


Carina Adores is home to highly romantic contemporary love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.
