Ok, can I be honest? I saw so much hype about Love Lettering by Kate Clyborn advance of it's publication. Kensington Books was really advertising it, putting hundreds of copies on Goodreads giveaways, etc. I just had to see what the hype was all about. I requested a copy on #NetGalley, and also received a hard copy on the mail from Kensington's Between the Pages Book Club. This book lives up to the hype! I fell in love immediately, and stayed up until 2 AM reading. I totally lost track of time, and forced myself to put the book down so I could get a few hours of sleep before work. It's seriously that good!
This book is a wonderful love story. I absolutely loved the way that the story was told. Meg is a lettering artist known for her whimsical designs on wedding stationery and planners. Reid works on Wall Street with numbers.
Reid notices a hidden word in his wedding program, a wedding that was subsequently cancelled, and comes to Meg to find out what she knew about his doomed engagement. Meg was initially drawn to Reid, even as he was planning his wedding to another woman.
This book is full of romantic walks around New York and special games that Meg and Reid play together. I just really love them together and love how their story unfolds. The only wish I had, if I were to make one, is that there were samples of Meg's art in the book. Kate Clayborn describes her art in such fantastic detail, I can definitely imagine it in my mind's eye, but I think it would just add that much more to the story.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves a romantic story with characters who feel like real people you'd love to meet. Thanks to #NetGalley and Kensington Books for the opportunity to read this wonderful novel.
