Book Review: The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society

This was a nice light read . . . exactly what I needed.  It’s the story of a few women that got together once a month to discuss a book and share their knitting project.  The group is a combination of a knitting group and book club.  Every month they would read a book and the knitting project they worked on would have to go with the book.  What a cool idea.  As you read through the book, you learned about the lives of each of the women . . . all dealing with some specific issue.  Partway through the story, a young troubled teen ends up joining their group and they help her out in a variety of ways.  But as you get further into the book you realize that through this troubled teen, they are each seeing things in their own lives that they need to deal with.  Like I said, it wasn't too deep or overly thought provoking . . . just  a simple enjoyable story.
