Firstly - Dress for Success, the inspiration for The Changing Room has been doing wonderful things for women for many years. If you haven't heard of them, look them up.

This is Christine Sykes debut novel, and has a wonderful premise. Different women, different backgrounds, all with one common goal - getting women back into the workforce and regaining their self esteem and self worth through clothing.

Anna, Claire and Molly are all so different, yet whist forging new friendships, they are becoming more self aware and more confident.

I did find that the dialogue was a bit stilted at times, and as for molly - there is fine line between sounding Australian and coming across as boganish - and Molly unfortunately fell on the bogan side of that line. I found myself rolling my eyes and cringing as I was reading her parts.

I didn't find myself really connecting with any of the ladies - though that is to be expected I suppose when I have never been in any of their positions.

I did enjoy the story thought, and was happy with where the characters ended up in their lives.
