The Secret Lives of Dresses di Erin McKean

It's a cute concept but the whole book seems forced. Didn't hate it but I don't really recommend it either.

The Secret Lives of Dresses di Erin McKean

This felt a little fluffy at times but that didn't stop me from enjoying it! I never really put words to it before reading this book but I have always shared the sentiment that "things" have stories to tell and I really liked the idea of writing a novel around that concept.

The Secret Lives of Dresses di Erin McKean

A light, heart-warming read without being sappy or overly-emotional. This book found its reader at the right time.
