Poppy Adams, 22, is pregnant, an unintended consequence of a hookup with her ex-boyfriend. When she's able to set aside her worries about further cementing her status as the screw-up in the family, she realizes that she wants to keep the baby and be a mother. A flyer for a "stitch 'n' bitch" group catches her eye, and she decides to join so she can have a support system and learn to knit. Rhiannon, her clinic escort from Planned Parenthood, is part of the group, and the two feel a strong mutual attraction. The timing may not feel perfect for a new romance, but perhaps it's exactly what Poppy needs. The beginning of their relationship feels rushed, making it hard to completely buy into at first, and some later conflicts are contrived. However, Poppy's strong, authentic persona easily carries the story. Her confidence as a plus-size bisexual woman is noteworthy, and the way she struggles with how others, particularly her family, perceive and judge various facets of her identity and life is realistic and relatable.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
