I had a hard time getting through the book. Most likely because it was not what I was expecting AT ALL. Near the end the

Titanic name drop happened and I though the story was about to take a turn and get a little dark but it didn't and , honestly, I kinda wish it did. It would've spiced up the book a bit

. I hadn't realized that the book was based on the real life of a famous fashion designer. The pacing of the story definitely makes sense now.
