An excellent novel weaving fashion, friendships, and love together. A great summer read. I immensely enjoyed Phoebe as a character and enjoyed how she grew and changed as she interacted with the other characters in the story. There were some holes in the story, but overall I really enjoyed it. The relationship between Phoebe and Mrs. Bell was very sincere and kind, I only wish the author had spent a bit more time fleshing out some of Phoebe's other relationships.
