review 1: 3 Words...Oh my freaking God!!!Well they're four, but we can't all be perfect like your book right???(insert witty remark here)But seriously, where is book 5?Sorry for regressing I can't help it, I have a focus of a rabid racoon. But kidding aside, thank you for this book!!! You nailed it again, from Janie's antics to Ashley's and Elizabeth's bad day up to Sandra's dream come true!But what totally dig me right through it was Fiona and Greg's prologue.Since book one, I was actually dreading the time you will write Fiona's story because she was married already. This lead me to 2 possible scenarios either Greg is a bad guy and they will get divorce or we will get a flashback. Because seriously, no story starts with a happily ever after.I don't want Greg to be a douche and the... more glimpses you've provided us in your books seems to me they are settled.Then you dropped the bomb that Fiona is a government employee/agent. That got my paranoid mind twisted and problematic again.Then this book came...Thank you for surprising us, and I may just speak for myself but I squealed a lot on some of those sweet moments.And laugh my heart out.Can't wait for the actual book 5.
review 2: Penny Reid's writing has captivated me since her first book, Neanderthal Seeks Human. All subsequent releases are now top priority reads for me and I almost get anxious waiting for each one publish. Scenes from the City was no exception. As this is a very limited time release, do not delay in ordering it. Even if you have not read her other books yet, order it so you have it.kitc2SftC is a novella collection of short stories about the characters from her Knitting In The City series. Each story gives you a glimpse of an event that happens post-book and in one case pre-book.'Neanderthal Seeks Honeymoon' - Janie and Quinn'Friends Definitely With Benefits' - Elizabeth and Nico'Hacking the Hacker' - Sandra and Alex'Beauty and the Beard' - Ashley and Drew'Ninja at First Sight' - Fiona and GregReading these stories was like visiting old friends, catching up on the happenings of their lives and enjoying their company. Penny has such a gift for creating characters that are complex and multidimensional while being the kind of people you'd actually like to know.Spending time with Janie and Quinn on their honeymoon, Elizabeth and Nico's first days of marriage, a birthday trip to the museum with Sandra and Alex, the long waited reunion between Ashley and Drew and la piece de resistance in the backstory on how Fiona and Greg meet.As a future book will feature Fiona and Greg, it was a treat to read about how they met in college. Watching their beginnings unfold create a strong foundation on what we can expect to be another exceptional story from Penny.While we have gathered bits and pieces about Fiona and Greg from Penny's other books, watching how the seed of this relationship is planted, germinates and eventually blooms is lovely and once again I find myself anxiously waiting for this book.While I love all the men in Penny's books, I've made it no secret that Nico is my favorite, but that spot became jeopardized when Greg confesses to Fiona, "I want to be your first kiss... I want to be your first everything."This collection of stories is meant to be read after you have read the rest of her books, but I implore you to grab this now and put it in your queue to devour after you read the rest of the series. As it is a limited release, you don't want to miss it, and with proceeds going to Toys for Tots, you can feel good about treating yourself to this as well. less
