This was a pretty good anthology with, as you probably guessed by the title, knitting and relationships as a common theme. I wanted to read this for Susan Mallery's story. This is the first time reading Debbie Macomber and Christina Skye for me.

Debbie Macomber's "The Twenty-First Wish:" This story started out really strong than all of a sudden it ended without addressing any issues that Anne Marie had about being with Tim. And wow, it seems like every men lies in Anne Marie's life, no wonder she isn't very trusting. I'm curious to read one of Macomber's books and maybe they would be better than the story. She does seem to create interesting characters and situations. Out of all three stories this is the weakest due to the ending.

Susan Mallery's "Coming Unravel:" This is a very basic, nice story. It's actually better than the other book based on the area, "Already Home." Very easy read but with a few consistency errors.

Christina Skye's "Home to Summer Island:" Skye's writing style is very detailed and the story unfolds slowly. Usually this would be a negative for me but somehow it worked well here. The story is very sweet, no sweaty romance scenes but just a good story about two people. I ended up liking this one the most. I will definitely look up other books by her.

Overall a decent book. It didn't wow me but it was a quick, enjoyable read.
