An excellent new 4* review for Novice Threads on NetGalley!

Happy Sunday to you! 

I remembered to check NetGalley this morning, not really expecting anything, but found a super 4* review on there.  I'm delighted with Fienna B's comments and thank her very much - especially her reasoning for not giving the novel 5*.

Here's what she says:

Most of the book tells a story about an adventure between two best friends, Margaret and Jessie, narrated from Margaret's perspective. Practically sisters, they've been inseparable since childhood, navigating life's twists and turns with their destinies intertwined.

 It's a really wholesome story filled with positivity as we follow Margaret and Jessie figuring out life together. We get to see their ups and downs but we would never feel despair because of the characters' optimism toward the future. You'd have a bit of laugh when Margaret was still a child, I had never expected this book to be funny in the first chapters but I had a chuckle and a laugh here and there.

 The writer's ability to detail each scene and constructing the characteristics' of the characters are divine. I feel like I'm experiencing Scotland with the characters all the way from my home. I can feel the love, the heartbreak, the confusion of each character. I weep as well as laugh along when the scene beckon me to do so.

 I can connect with each character and scene but one. It seems like an affair justification because of the one sentence produced in certain chapter and I admire Margaret's attitude on the whole ordeal. But I can't stand that particular scene, for me an affair is wrong in any way and can't be justified. So I have to let 1 star go from my rating.

 I would still recommend this book to those who love Jane Eyre, coming of age story,  a bit of romance and struggle but a fun read!
