Love Letters on Hazel Lane by Jennifer Page
Love Letters on Hazel Lane by Jennifer Page is the second book in the Little Board Game Café series. I liked the first book and I was excited to read this one as well. Unfortunately this was not as good, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Nevertheless, I would recommend it and 4 stars is a high rating.
Jo is a divorcee who loves scrabble, a bit too much. She decides to date only men whose names would score highly at scrabble. It sounds like a fun premises, but it was a bit too much. At some point there were scores written for a word on every page. It’s not like that for the whole book, but it was enough to be annoying after page 100. That was the only thing that annoyed me.
I liked Jo, she has had a pretty awful life due to bullying. Her ex-husband was not great either. Ras, the doctor she meets, is wonderful, a likeable character. I also enjoyed the Scrabble festival idea and the scrabble club. The book touches on many social issues, in a clear, but not in an overwhelming way. It is a lovely romance book after all. Page is a really good author. I hope she will continue to write because her books are great.

About the author: Jennifer Page lives near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire with her husband Hermi and his very – no, make that extremely – large collection of board games. Her debut novel, The Little Board Game Cafe will be published on 13th April 2022. Jennifer writes light-hearted, cosy romantic fiction which was initially inspired by her own dating adventures. Before she met Hermi, she was single for 13 years and had pretty much given up on meeting The One.
When she isn’t writing, Jennifer can usually be found playing board games; since she met Hermi, she’s become even more obsessed with them than he is! She also loves cooking (though she’d never claim to be any good at it!), caravan holidays and walking in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

I like that these books are all loosely connected, yet enjoyable as standalone stories. Scrabble has always been a favorite of mine, so that was fun about this one.
