I was so sure that I had made a mistake in the download. Seems strange to give a review for only one chapter. But I am very very intrigued and look forward to receiving the remainder of the book.

This was only an excerpt but it was amazing and really pulled me in and I can’t wait to read the rest of the book!

Absolutely fantastic had me gripped!!! Loved it! Can't wait for more from.this author. Storyline was great, characters were easy to.connect with

Thank you for the advanced copy

Such an intriguing first chapter! Looking forward to reading the rest of the book when available and getting answers to my many questions. The whole concept is fascinating and I was immediately drawn into the heroine’s world.

A really delightful snippet of this book. I'm super excited to read the full book!
Clayborn's writing is charming and really engaging. Really great opening that sucks you in.

Oh this is gonna be so good!

Meg is a hand-lettering master who has been sought out so much for doing wedding sets that she'd have been booked for the next forever if she hadn't left the wedding paper business after designing Reid and Avery's invites. When she first met Reid, all she could see was sadness...she thinks. So she snuck something into the lettering on their invites. One year later, where this novel starts, Reid comes in to the shop wedding-ring-less and pulls out a crumpled invite and asks how Meg knew his marriage would fail.

And so it begins! Just this first chapter has been released and I am hooked! I can't wait to read the rest. Publishing day can't come soon enough for this.

Thank you NetGalley, Kate Clayborn and Kensington Books for this teaser. I am sufficiently teased and want it all!

Definitely hooked on the teaser alone! I've been recommended Clayborn's titles before and I've got her Luck series on my to-read list so that will for sure keep me occupied until this one comes out. The concept is so fresh and unique and Clayborn's voice is distinct and engaging.

Bummed this was only a teaser however what I did read has intrigued me. Can't wait for the whole book!

Well, that excerpt hooked me! I can't wait to get my hands on the finished book. The main male character gave me Darcy vibes and I love that the main female character has a creative career. From their banter, I feel like this is gearing up to be a very entertaining read.

I was unaware that partial books or samples could be put on Netgalley for request, so like other reviewers, I was surprised when this one showed up and was just a single chapter.

That said, this chapter didn’t disappoint! As someone who dabbles in handlettering and modern calligraphy and hasn’t met a bullet journal she didn’t love, I super enjoyed being dropped into the world of a professional handcrafter. There are enough questions seeded into this single chapter to make it a page-turner, and Kate Clayborn’s writing voice, which I so enjoyed in her Luck trilogy, jumps off the page with its fresh intelligence.

Without anything more to judge it on—or even a cover photo as part of the digital sample—I can’t promote this book on my blog. But I can’t wait to gobble up the full book when it becomes available, and look forward to recommending it to others then!

I was really disappointed to realise that this was an excerpt as the premise is terrific. That said, I am suitably intrigued that I am now looking forward to New Year and the pending release date!

What a teaser! I can't wait to read the book! I love the concept of the protagonist being a calligrapher.

I liked what I read and it made me crave for more. I look forward to reading the whole book.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

14 page excerpt..major tease. Ughh..I want to read this now.
I definitely want the whole book. Bring it on!

I only read the excerpt and I am FULL-ON OBSESSED. That first chapter felt like total stationary/lettering porn and holy shit! I loved it! I can't wait for more of these two characters.

I loved the language and the premise of what promises to be a sweet read. Can't wait to read the book.

I love Kate Clayborn’s books. I was sad when I realized this was an excerpt and not the full book. Excerpts are difficult for me to review. This chapter is lovely and I would like to read the rest of the book.

First off, I'd like to thank Net Gallery and Kensington Publishing for given me the chance to read the first chapter of LOVE LETTERING by Kate Clayborn.

I am hooked. I am so upset that this was only the first chapter, but I am looking forward to the rest of the book! I tried to explain the book to my mom and she too wants to know what Meg had put into the wedding program. I need to know. I cannot go on with life without knowing.... okay maybe that was an exaggeration but I cannot wait to see what comes next between Meg and Reid.

I only read the 1st chapter, as it was only what was available but I loved it. I can't wait for the rest of the book to be available so I can know what happens next.

I’m torn between elation at what this blurb held and despair that I have to wait so long to read the entire book. Perhaps it would have been easier not knowing what magic lay just out of reach?
Clayborn has outdone herself. Poetic writing. Flawless premise. Beauty and sadness and anticipation in just this little slice of the book.
Can’t wait for more.
