Natalie is a Bloomingdale’s salesgirl mooning over her lawyer ex-boyfriend who’s engaged to someone else after just two months. Felicia has been quietly in love with her happily married boss for twenty years; now that he’s a lonely widower, she just needs the right situation to make him see her as more than the best executive assistant in Midtown Manhattan. Andrea is a private detective specializing in gathering evidence on cheating husbands—a skill she unfortunately learned from her own life—and can’t figure out why her intuition tells her the guy she’s tailing is one of the good ones when she hasn’t trusted a man in years. For these three women, as well as half a dozen others in sparkling supporting roles—a young model fresh from rural Georgia, a diva Hollywood star making her Broadway debut, an overachieving, unemployed Brown grad who starts faking a fabulous life on social media, to name just a few—everything is about to change, thanks to the dress of the season, the perfect little black number everyone wants to get their hands on…
there are some negative reviews on this and I respect them..if you are looking for a deep book this is not it. If you are looking for something lighthearted, charming, witty, and fun then this is the book for your. I loved reading about how this dress affected the lives of the pattern maker thru the women who wore it. Easy, beach kind of read. but also the kind of fun book to read on a nice dreary day. Definitely recommend.
This tale takes readers on a jaunt around NYC in the "It" dress of the season. The dress appears in expected & not-so-expected places on a variety of women. Readers get to peek into their lives along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick, witty read. It has just enough conflict, humor, & romance to keep you guessing and reading. I recommend this as a quick, fun read.
"A beautiful dress holds a little bit of magic in it."
The glue that holds this story together is THE perfect little black dress, and Ms. Rosen is able to use that magic to her advantage. From sales clerks at Bloomingdales, to the theatre and film industries, private detective agency and visiting Muslim women from France, all of them have a connection to the same dress. A lovely and witty story. It was so easy to dispel reality in many cases and just go along for the ride!
I loved this story! It was so much fun I read it twice.
