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.

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl is an entertaining lesbian romance by Hettie Bell.

I found myself falling in love with this story at the start. But after that, at some point I stopped caring. I almost put it down. But luckily I kept reading and I became fully invested again. But the end, I really enjoyed this tale. 

There's a lot going on in Poppy's life. She's pregnant, alone, and has some major family issues. Seriously, her mother is one hell of a pain in the ass. 

Deciding to join a knitting group changes her life forever. I absolutely love and adore the way the knitting group becomes her circle of people. This group of individuals who have nothing in common but their craft, is perfectly written. 

As well, Poopy meets and falls in love with Rhiannon. 

The next nine months of Poppy's life is full of ups and downs, as well as a whole lot of character growth. Her relationships with everyone changes and then changes again. This is what is at the heart of this story. Poppy and the way she changes in her relationships with friends, family, and lovers. 

Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl is a wonderful story in the end. Hettie Bell manages to capture the readers attention with a lot of charm and wit into this intriguing coming of age tale. The growth is Poppy's character has me happy to have discovered this book.
