Helpful Score: 2

I found this story of women's friendships, growing out of an informal knitting club, surprisingly good. Using the same basic formula -- and some of the same life events -- as Deb Macomber's "Blossom Street" series, "The Friday Night Knitting Club" manages to avoid the shmaltz and features characters who seem much more real. Even though Jacobs, like Macomber, tends to use wealthy-fairy-godmother types to deal with some problems, it's not as hokey in this work.
