Review: Love Lettering

✩✩✩✩

In the last year, Meg Mackworth's beautiful hand-lettering skills have seen her rocket to social media fame, and now she has a booming business crafting stationery for the stars. But she has a secret: sometimes, she just can't resist hiding messages in her work. Slightly unprofessional, maybe - but harmless. Right?

Analyst Reid Sutherland and his gorgeous fiancée had their future mapped out. Until he noticed a pattern in his wedding invitation that made him think twice.

When Meg looks up from her desk one day and sees Reid standing in front of her with no wedding ring, holding the invitation she created, she thinks that her career is over.

But her life may be about to begin . . .

Review: I loved reading Love Lettering and I found the plot rather original. Meg's creative side is very well portrayed, and especially the way she finds inspiration just walking around the streets of New York. Reid is the sweetest man and it's clear he adores Meg right from the start, even if he can't share a lot of details about his work (for reasons that are explained later in the book). 

 

There were, however, a few plot details that were either not followed through or not fully explained, and for some reason that took away some of the credibility (and one star from the rating). For example, I never understood why Reid reached out to Meg in the first place, since, as we realise later, it's just not the greatest of timings with everything else he has going on; or how Meg could just barge in the middle of a federal investigation and talk freely to Reid. I know those are important details for the plot to work, but it would have been so easy to explain them rationally instead of leaving them just in the air... 

In any case, Love Lettering is still a great book and very enjoyable.

Happy readings!
