Hate Notes  by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward Pub date: November 6, 2018 Publisher: Montlake Romance Available in Canada through Thomas Allen & Son Add to Goodreads:   https://bit.ly/2OKkaQE Description:  From  New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story of secondhand hearts and second chances… It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read:  Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. The name embossed on the blue stationery:  Reed Eastwood , obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed.
