I picked this up after reading a thread by Kate Clayborn about why romance novels often have purple prose (https://www.threads.net/@kateclayborn.author/post/C0WkZhGrqAt). I was like, this lady sounds smart! I'm going to read one of her books! So it was just a coincidence that the heroine in this book had almost the exact same emotional issue as the heroine of the last romance novel I read, [b:Happy Place|61718053|Happy Place|Emily Henry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1660145160l/61718053._SY75_.jpg|97321939]. Both women grew up with parents in a tense, unhappy marriage and as a result, never learned how to argue and work through a relationship problem in a healthy way. Weird! Like deja vu for me to read these back to back. Anyway, I did in fact find Clayborn's writing a bit on the purple side, but when that happens in romance novels I just skim. Most of the book was fun, especially the frequent references to fonts (because Meg's job is hand-lettering journals for rich people). I didn't find the hero, Reid, very appealing despite how Darcy-ish he was (serious, blunt, old-fashioned). His personality seemed to do a 180 as he fell in love with Meg and it didn't make sense to me (maybe I skimmed too much). He went from Darcy-ish to generic Nice Guy. I also didn't love that the key to Meg's success in business at the end My quibbles aside, I think this a solid contemporary romance. The writing is a cut above and it was creative and dramatic enough to satisfy. Love Lettering was sent to me by Kensington Publishing. This is my first book by Kate Clayborn. I enjoyed her style of writing, as she had me hooked on page one. I found the relationship between Reid and Meg so relatable and relevant to the average person. It was not an overly mushy hero driven story, but a slow and steady, good old fashioned relationship. My only reason for giving this book 4 stars instead of 5 is the author kind of lost me at times in the beginning with the sign game. I wasn't totally following the attraction of this, but in the end that didn't matter. With the turns and twists, and sweet relationships, I thoroughly enjoyed Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Meg Mackworth's hand-lettering skill has made her famous as the Planner of Park Slope, designing custom journals for her New York City clientele. She has another skill too: reading signs that other people miss. Knowing the upcoming marriage of Reid Sutherland and his gorgeous fiancee was doomed to fail is one thing, but weaving a secret word of warning into their wedding program is another. Meg may have thought no one would spot it, but she hadn't counted on sharp-eyed, pattern-obsessed Reid . . . A year later, Reid has tracked Meg down to find out how she knew that his meticulously planned future was about to implode. But with a looming deadline and a bad case of creative block, Meg doesn't have time for Reid's questions-unless he can help her find her missing inspiration. As they gradually open up to each other, both try to ignore a deepening connection between them. But the signs are there-irresistible, indisputable, urging Meg to heed the messages Reid is sending her, before it's too late . . . Contains mature themes.

I liked this but I think it feels a lot more heavy and serious than I typically want books like this to be.
The couple was sweet and I always prefer a quiet, thoughtful, leading man instead of the ones who are brimming with confidence and bravado.
Enjoyed the side plots about friendship too. ( )
