Loved every minute!
My coworker pointed out Abby’s recipe:
Character with health issues
Real woman with the good and bad
Adorable dog.


It’s a recipe for success. I had already read The Happily Ever Playlist and am glad I got to go on Sloan’s journey before this one. 

Aiming to be a Abby Jimenez completist.

A fascinating look into the creation of Barbie. I was gripped! I had to keep googling images whenever the referred to specific items or outfits so if the physical book has images, that would enhance the experience

I enjoyed the first 25%, then the next 50% was ok. But the final 25% was torture. I skimmed most of it, just to be done.
