Love Lettering was a lovely story, and I felt like I went through this life journey with Meg. She starts off in the novel feeling isolated from the people around her (especially her best friend who has become distant), and struggling with an artistic block. She's been trying to come up with a new idea for an upcoming work opportunity, but hasn't had any luck. That's when Reid Sutherland comes back into her life asking about a secret message Meg left on his and his ex-fiancé's wedding program.
After a rocky meeting, Meg and Reid soon find themselves hanging out and exploring New York together and looking for hand-lettered signs in hopes of getting Reid to hate the city a little less, and getting some inspiration for Meg.

It started off a bit slow for me, but Meg was a very likable character, and she grew on me fairly quickly. I have to say that one of the highlights of this novel was watching Meg open herself up to new friendships after years of keeping people at a distance. Also, seeing her and Sibby confront the issues of their friendship was such an important plot point. I thought it was so realistic. Sometimes people forget that as they grow, their friendships and relationships need to evolve as well if they have any hope in continuing them. I just really enjoyed the female friendships that were explored here.

Reid was a sweetheart. There were times when it felt like he wasn't a big presence in the novel. He was pretty reserved throughout, and we didn't get to see a lot of his personality until the second half of the novel. Of course, once we get to the main event, it all makes so much sense. And there was still enough shown of his personality to find him completely endearing. Reid held his cards very close, but he showed signs of being shy, nervous, and having a sense of humor that looked like it was dying to come out.

My only complaint would just be that I would've loved to have seen more of Reid after everything calmed down in the end. We got a small glimpse, but I'm greedy and wanted more lol.

Overall, another fantastic novel by Kate Clayborn that contains realistic and relatable characters.

Meg Mackworth, who makes a living from creating beautiful bespoke journals, made a mistake. One little hidden word in a wedding programme that she never expected to be noticed, has been. One year later Reid Sutherland turns back up in the shop to find out how Meg knew his wedding was doomed to fail.

I liked the journal/calligraphy concept to the book which gives it a very current theme and of course it's set in New York, which is always a winner in my mind.

I really liked how the characters were written and enjoyed the journey of Meg and Reid with their initial akwardness growing into something deeper. I also liked the added side to Reid's story which I thought was in keeping with his character. The ending wrapped up the story well.

Fantasy Film Cast: (Sometimes I see the characters as famous people, some even as characters they have played!) Zooey Deschanel as Meg and I saw Reid as Daniel Gillies (but as his character Elijah Mikaelson from The Originals)

I absolutely loved this book! Read in 24 hours. The details of the story were unique. The characters were relatable and had so much to them, definitely not the flat characters you find in a lot of romance novels. Best I've read since One Day In December. I would 100% recommend this!
