Who Knit Ya?: A story of love from a tiny outport island.

by Dawn Reany

Katie Lynch, a social media influencer weary from the pressures of online fame, escapes to Twillingate, Newfoundland, the picturesque hometown of her parents where she spent her childhood summers. Immersed in familiar surroundings and cherished memories, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to ‘Sandy’, her childhood friend who has grown into a ruggedly handsome fisherman.

Alexander Murphy, recently single and harbouring long-held feelings for Katie, bravely reaches out to rekindle their connection. The spark between them is undeniable, and as they navigate their renewed relationship, they must confront their own insecurities and the expectations of others.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Twillingate's rugged beauty and its close-knit community, Katie and Alex embark on a journey of self-discovery and the possibility of a second chance at love. "Who Knit Ya?" is a heartwarming tale about the enduring power of family, the importance of staying true to oneself, and the unexpected turns life can take when you least expect it.

Who Knit Ya is the epitome of an outport Newfoundland love story! This small town romance is based out of Twillingate, NL. You get a real sense of the place and people from the little outport fishing community, plus a little banter and spice from a modern romance novel 💛 #alexthefisherman

Her depiction of family, love, and heartbeak, is something the readers, Newfoundlanders especially, can connect to!

Definitely a must read ⚓️💙

This booked filled me with so many different emotions and such nostalgia. As someone who spent many a summer in Twillingate the elements of the story brought back so many memories. I could picture so many scenes from the book. It was as if I was almost there with the characters myself reliving days spent on the trails, and beaches or attending the fish fun and folk festival with my dear cousin and friends. Well done Dawn. The story tugged at the heart strings in all the right places.

Such a sweet and wholesome read! I was thrilled to read a novel based in my husband home town and a place that’s so special to me, and Who Knit Ya did not disappoint! The book had so many details that gave you the same homey feeling that Newfoundland does, complete with some of the special dialect. I would have loved to see a few more shoutouts to some of the classic special places in twillingate but LOVED all the ones that were included! Hope to read more from Dawn 😊
