I picked up this book for two reasons: One, it was a Winner of a Reader's Choice Award at my local library; Two, it fit a prompt for a reading challenge. That being said, I did not like this book. The writing was okay. However there was no real plot, and to be honest, it was a bit dull. I would say this book is a romance...or rather multiple romances at once. I think it was the multiple romances that made me dislike the book. Not because I don't enjoy multiples, but because there were two many main characters (and storylines) to keep track of. Very few of the individuals in each arc interacted with each other and the story arcs skipped around a lot. It was bit like trying to read multiple books from a series of related novellas all at the same time. The main link in the book: at least one character in each story had some sort of encounter with "The Dress". Overall, I give the book two stars.
