I thought I wanted a light feel good book, but this just didn't hit the spot . The drastic things that happen lack dept, and some small things just bother me (like the woman putting away a large ball of wool after an 8 hour flight in which she knit a number of beanies, if that ball was still big what kind of bag full of wool did she bring in het carry on) that just didn't seem realistic. The ending seemed a bit left open which is more like real life, but this is a book. Work in the treads. Make a nice finished beanie, not a raffled thing.
