Authour Erin McKean keeps a website chronicling a dress a day, writing little stories about each. This led her to create the novel, in which a girl returns home to run her grandmother's vintage clothing store. Sadness and happiness follow, leaning more on the happiness side. Plus a huge dash of amazing clothes. Definitely a 'girl' book, it was exactly what I needed and made me vow to wear my dresses more often this summer.
An interesting addition to the book came in the form of many little stories told from the point of view of the dresses themselves. I thought it was an original touch, loved it. Made me think of all the stories various items in my own closet could be telling.
A nice, fun, easy, satisfying book; what my mom would have called 'a beach read,' but with a bit of extra depth.
