One of the most beloved romantic comedies of the year, Love Lettering is a heart-melting and touching story that fans of Tessa Bailey, Jen DeLuca, and Emily Henry cannot miss.
In this warm and witty romance from acclaimed author Kate Clayborn, one little word puts a woman’s business—and her heart—in jeopardy . . .
Meg Mackworth’s hand-lettering skill has made her famous as the Planner of Park Slope, designing custom journals for her New York City clientele. She has another skill too: reading signs that other people miss. Knowing the upcoming marriage of Reid Sutherland and his polished fiancée was doomed to fail is one thing, but weaving a secret word of warning into their wedding program is another. Meg may have thought no one would spot it, but she hadn’t counted on sharp-eyed, pattern-obsessed Reid.
A year later, Reid has tracked Meg down to find out how she knew that his meticulously planned future was about to implode. But with a looming deadline and a bad case of creative block, Meg doesn’t have time for Reid’s questions—unless he can help her find her missing inspiration. As they gradually open up to each other, both try to ignore a deepening connection between them. But the signs are there—irresistible, indisputable, urging Meg to heed the messages Reid is sending her, before it’s too late . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This whimsical rom-com from Clayborn (Best of Luck) contrasts cute romance with cringe-worthy moments of embarrassment for the bumbling central couple. Meg Mackworth is a New York City calligraphy artist whose intricate hand-lettering is in high demand. No one but Meg was ever supposed to notice the secret messages she doodles into her designs to keep her work from becoming boring. When Meg's former client Reid, a high-strung math genius, confronts her about spotting the word mistake hidden in the wedding programs Meg made for him and his now-ex, Meg admits to having picked up on the couple's discontentment. Stalled out on her latest project and feeling guilty for embedding the subversive message in Reid's wedding programs, Meg impulsively invites him to walk the city with her in search of inspiration in the form of signs both literal and figurative. This leads to a sweet, if frequently awkward, slow burn as the pair grows closer over the following weeks. Though Clayborn's style occasionally verges on twee, her loving descriptions of New York are deeply appealing. This touching story is full of love and laughter.
Customer Reviews
Really enjoyed
I’m giving this 4 stars even though I did love this book because I almost gave up on it. The beginning didn’t click with me but I kept up with it & I’m so very happy I did. Great characters with depth friendships that were real a story that you can relate too. Looking forward to reading more of this author’s books.
Love this book
Everything about it: how it is beautifully written, master of words this author is; the depth and poetry of the characters; the sense of humor; the letters, OMG, the how a true artist can see the loveliness of letters! I am reading everything she ever wrote and will write.
Interesting but tedious /repetitive
A little too repetitive. But interesting concept
