So far so good! I really enjoyed the first chapter and I can't wait for the rest! I'm so intrigued! I want to know more! I already laughed 3 times in the first chapter so I'm really excited to read the whole book!

Delightful first chapter. Characterization is so sharp I feel like I was there in the shop with the MC. I need to read more of Kate Clayborn's writing. ASAP.

The essence of a good book lives and breathes in firstly, its beginning lines and secondly, the first chapter and whether it delivers the hook. Well, this 14 page excerpt did all that and more. I'm intrigued by both Meg and Reid and I can't wait to see whee their story goes. I hope there's a lot of push and pull, and I love the little mystery hinted at in the excerpt. Hopefully the full arc becomes available sooner rather than later.
Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this excerpt in exchange for an honest review.

It was a very intriguing first chapter excerpt. It took me a bit to get used to Meg's voice, but once I slowly understood how she saw things, I became more interested.. I'm really looking forward to seeing her and Reid interact more. The chapter left off on a great start to the novel and I can't wait to read more!

A very intriguing start! I knew this book was for me when I laughed out loud at a font joke. "The most sans serif person," might be my new favorite burn.

Stationery nerds are gonna love this one. I can't wait for the full egalley (and I already preordered!)

This excerpt definitely left me wanting more! I loved how descriptive the writing was, and the calligraph metaphor were spot on and so original. I am already fascinated with the main character, she seems so perceptive and creative and I can already identify with her. Add to that a mysterious Reid, and the neighborhood I left my heart in, Park Slope, and I can't wait to read the whole book!
