Knitting in the City is the series that put Penny Reid on the romance map. Thirteen books published from 2013 to 2018 follow members of a Chicago knitting group through their individual love stories. Neanderthal Seeks Human introduced the world to Reid’s brand of romance: heroines who overthink everything, heroes who find that charming, and enough nerdy humor to fill a lecture hall.

The series includes full-length novels, novellas, and companion stories that flesh out the world. Titles like Love Hacked, Happily Ever Ninja, and Dating-ish give a sense of Reid’s playful approach to the genre. The series connects to her larger Seduction in the City Universe.
