Title: Love Letters on Hazel Lane
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?
Fantastic - 14 points
Brilliant - 11 points
Enjoyable - 21 points
Just 3 of the words I would use to describe this latest book from Jennifer Page, featuring scrabble mad Jo, and Ras.
There is a lot of scrabble and scrabble scores in this book, and it does form the basis for a fair amount of the plot.
But there is so much more to it than just that, as Jo starts to make improvements in all areas of her life.
And I loved the idea of a Scrabble festival, and would dearly love to go to it, being a big fan of the game too.
Set in the next village over to the author's first book, we have loads of cameos and connections to The Board Game Café, which as a fan I loved seeing. but rest assured this can easily be read as a standalone book too.
I read this on holiday, on Christmas day, and it was the perfect read. After all who hasn't played scrabble or another board game with loved ones over Christmas, so this felt like a fitting read, while I was soaking up the sun.
Thank you to Aria and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
