![]() ![]() ![]() Overwhelmed by the pressures of fame, her work feels forced and uninspired. ![]() She’s lost her creative spark just as an important deadline for a hand lettered journal showcasing her innovative style looms, and she’s panicking. ![]() As Love Lettering begins, Meg – dubbed The Planner of Park Slope – is struggling to enjoy her success. But then word about her talent spread like wildfire over social media, and her once quiet life became a distant memory. Meg Mackworth was mostly content working at an upscale paperie, creating beautiful custom hand-lettered stationery, journals and planners for its elite clientele. When I wasn’t wholly distracted because I was visualizing letters and fonts and serifs and sans serifs, I loved this quietly charming – and slightly magical – opposites attract romance. I love the art of hand lettering and calligraphy, but I sometimes found the minute focus on the process and different styles (which I obsessed over while reading the text!) distracted my attention from the love story. I put off writing a review for Love Lettering because I have so many mixed feelings about the book. ![]()
