I listened to this on audible and I really liked the cast of narrators. This book was entertaining and fun but I think there were about five women too many in this book and they took away from the stories that I was actually interested in. A fun, quick read.

this was a very light, very happy, very cute and easy palate cleanser of a book! nice to reliably know just from the tone that everything will be alright throughout.

I give this book 5 stars not because it’s especially well written but because it was exactly the book I needed now. I enjoyed the fashion/department store/acting part and I was surprised at how many men were part of the story.

This book flows from one fun story into the next and back again all while surrounding the newest little black dress on the market. I loved each we character and how their lives intertwined with dress and each other in small ways. An uplifting and fun read
funny lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

This was such a fun read! highly recommend!

So, yeah, the representation wasn't good.

I enjoyed this book. I think if it was a little shorter I would have not had the time to fall out of love with it. It dragged.

I didn't like how stereotypical it was. Sometimes it felt downright mean. I know it's a product of its time but still, mean is mean.

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

Shallow, irritating characters, most with unacknowledged privilege.  I skipped around a bit, and the end.  It did not improve

Light-hearted, quick and fun.
