I was excited for the chance to read Love Letters on Hazel Lane because I loved the author's first book about the board game cafe. I did not find this story quite so upbeat or appealing, but I did love how so much of the plot involved Scrabble. The heroine Jo is a Scrabble nut looking for that special relationship. Just moved into a new town, Jo is lonely and seems unable to find new friends or meet new people. She is bullied by a new employee in the office at work and still ruminating over the difficulties of her past marriage. When Jo meets shy local GP Ras on a dating app, it seems they are both too socially awkward to get things going and never make it to a second date. Some of the situations that kept them apart or created obstacles felt a bit contrived.

For everyone who enjoyed the board game cafe story there are plenty of return characters in Love Letters. The community of friendship created by the shared loved of the board games and Scrabble makes one wish for such a place in real life! This is an enjoyable good read I highly recommend.

Another cracker from Jennifer Page. It's such a delightful read. I thoroughly enjoyed The Little Board Game Café, and the author cleverly weaves characters from that book into Love Letters on Hazel Lane. This is a hug of a book. Snuggle up with cake and coffee and lose yourself in a well-written, page-turning read. Five big fat stars from me! I was very fortunate to receive an ARC - many thanks to the publisher and author.

A brilliant second book. Can read alone. Controlling men and bullies at work make you so cross.. Kate and her funny advice made you laugh at times . The Scrabble group and the things it led too was great. Jo was a complicated character and sometimes you were shouting at her. I loved Razz . A great read and a fab ending . Read it

Such a good book with a really unique selling point. Of the love story revolving around Scrabble. I thought it was really good and I really enjoyed it.

I was so pleased to read this book which is an absolute delight. Scrabble is a great game and to base a book round it is truly inspired. Cleverly written and charming I would recommend this as a must read.

A joy of a book to read. Settle down in the sofa with a pot of tea and a plate of biscuits and prepare not to move until you’ve read the whole book.
