I wanted to like this book. The description was right up my alley, but it fell way short for me.
The fashion and the descriptions were beautiful and so very rich, but it wasn’t enough.
The story needed more than just pretty dresses.
There was supposed to be romance, but I didn’t get that. Tristan and Emmy’s relationship happened because the blurb said it would. I didn’t see any chemistry and while Tristan is very sweet, the whole Sophie thing was unnecessary.
I was also confused with Emmy and her mother’s relationship. I didn’t get that they were close.
I also felt the “twists” were predictable, as was who was ultimately responsible. At times Emmy was too naive to be believable. Honestly, no one could be that dense.
As I said, I wanted to love this book but it fell so flat for me, sorry.
