i mean can we just take a moment to look at that cover. how gorgeous is that?and the book carried on with that same magical charm.
this is part of a series. id say you can read as a standalone but i think its all the better when you get to know a whole gang of people and come back to them like old friends. and then like in this book we get to know one a little better. and this one really took you into Phoebe's story and it certainly explained some of her isms and the way she is. which is someone who is entirely focused,semi obsessed with her dress shop and more to the point picking the right dress for people. or should i say the right people for her dressed.
when one day a costumer encounter goes viral its threatens all she holds dear.
theres all the thread that is getting fraid between her and the man in her life.
but shes got her dog so thats something. and its all she needs right? ermmm....
i really like how Annie describes her settings to us. you get feel of them, you almost see them in your own minds eye.
the characters in this book are definitely ones you might bristle at a few times. but i think thats what makes them actually more readable and humans in this book. we cant be head over heels with every human. but neither do we need to think they are rotters, lol. and i like seeing sides to people, seeing how or why they are this way. and its creates a more caring and kind way towards people and maybe also to put a little thought before we judge.
the charm of this book was once again on point. it was so lovely and felt comforting the whole way through.
its so much about family, friends and love in all its guesses.
lovely book. lovely time with it.

Having not read the previous books in the series I was going in blind. But I loved this story and will definitely be reading the previous books in the series.

Phoebe is involved in an incident with a customer that then goes viral on socials and she has to take a back seat in the dress shop that she manages and with the threat of losing her job she needs to turn things around in her work life and her love life also takes a hit as well.

When disaster strikes, what will happen and will she be able to fix what she has done recently ?

Thoroughly enjoyed this story of Phoebe and her passion for all things vintage, in particular dresses. I hadn’t realised it was part of a series, but still that didn’t deter me from reading it, in fact I’m on the hunt for the others in the series!
