Summary:
Scrabble fan Jo always seems to pick the wrong guys. Now she's moved to the Yorkshire village of Hebbleswick, and decided to give dating one last chance. This time, there's a catch: she will only date men whose names would score highly in her beloved word game.
After Tarquin (16 points) proves just as disappointing as the rest, she meets low-scoring local doctor Ras (3 points). Her rules mean she can't date him - but when he asks her to organise a Scrabble festival with him, she can't say no.
As the event draws nearer and Jo and Ras grow closer, will Jo ignore her rule and let true love blossom over the triple letter scores?
Review:
Firstly thank you to Rachel's Random Resources, Aria and Jennifer Page for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
So this is the first book by Jennifer Page I've read, I kept meaning to read The Little Board Game Cafe but book tours got in the way! So now I've made sure I got to read this one as part of a tour! And it's been a brilliant read, it's the right kind of easy and uplifting book that I needed when I picked it up. I loved Jo and could completely relate to her rubbish experience with dating so I loved her idea of picking men whose names score high on Scrabble, a game I'm rubbish at by the way so I loved her enthusiasm for it!
I really liked that Ras wasn't your typically amazingly handsome love interest, he was just a normal guy which makes a really pleasant change and I found his lack of confidence so endering. It was really nice to follow their friendship and how it, with bumps in the road, developed into more and I was really rooting for them the further on in the book we got and towards the end, I may have been telling them off/encouraging them to just get on with it because you could see how perfect they were for each other.
I loved seeing Jo's confidence grow as the book progressed and how she grew as a person and learned to stand up for herself, it's not an easy thing to do when someone has ground your self-belief into next to nothing and I found myself feeling so proud of her for that.
I loved the writing style of this book so I really can't wait for the next book in Hebbleswick, I'm hoping we get lots more and I get to have a Jennifer Page shelf to match my Heidi Swain one!
