Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn

Lynnie


contemporary fiction, romance

Meg is locally famous for hand-lettering wedding invitations, planners, and journals for NYC's elite while Reid is a math prodigy who has found success, and a fiance, on Wall Street.  When they meet while Meg is designing Reid's wedding program, no one can predict how their future paths will intersect. 

I don't usually read romance-y novels, but Love Lettering was a sweet story. I am a sucker for talk of fonts and lettering, which was my main attraction to this story. I was not disappointed on that front, once again thinking about a career I had never considered in my youth- lettering other people's planners (though I have many questions about the logistics of that which, if I talk about them, will ruin any idea that this could be remotely realistic as a career so I won't bother you about it because it is fiction after all). Kate Clayborn's characters and story were quirky if not downright awkward & while I often found it endearing I also found myself suppressing giant eye rolls at other times because...awkward!

Still, I enjoyed it much more than I didn't and, these days, I have to take those wins where I get them! This was a fun escape from these dreary winter days and would make a great vacation read as well.
