Fiction. Literature. HTML:"Exactly the type of book I love: charming, smart, and brimming with heart."â??EMILY GIFFIN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted
"Fast paced and entertaining from beginning to end."â??KRISTIN HANNAH, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale
Two years after Grace Kelly's royal wedding, her iconic dress is still all the rage in Parisâ??and one replica, and the secrets it carries, will inspire three generations of women to forge their own paths in life and in love.
Paris, 1958: Rose, a seamstress at a fashionable atelier, has been entrusted with sewing a Grace Kellyâ??look-alike gown for a wealthy bride-to-be. But when, against better judgment, she finds herself falling in love with the bride's handsome brother, Rose must make an impossible choice, one that could put all she's worked for at risk: love, security and of course, the dress.
Sixty years later, tech CEO Rachel, who goes by the childhood nickname "Rocky," has inherited the dress for her upcoming wedding in New York City. But there's just one problem: Rocky doesn't want to wear it. A family heirloom dating back to the 1950s, the dress just isn't her. Rocky knows this admission will break her mother Joan's heart. But what she doesn't know is why Joan insists on the dressâ??or the heartbreaking secret that changed her mother's life decades before, as she herself prepared to wear it.
As the lives of these three women come together in surprising ways, the revelation of the dress's history collides with long-buried family heartaches. And in the lead-up to Rocky's wedding, they'll have to confront the past before they can embrace the beautiful possibilities of the future.

    Thank goodness for this book after reading a few others with intense plots. This historical novel was comforting with three generations of women in the family that are getting married and wearing the same dress...maybe. Rose from 1958 creates this beautiful "Grace Kelly" style dress. Then her daughter Joanie follows suit in 1982 and in 2020, Rockie - or rather Greta - has to decide what she's going to do. The book seamlessly goes through each generation with drama and pleasant feelings. I enjoyed it. ( )

    A delightful treat of a book about about three generations of women who are connected by their wedding gowns. Draws you in and keeps you reading right up to The End. ( )

    Joyful

    The book is so much more than a story about a dress. It's about love and family. I think most women will find they connect with one of the three main characters. The story plot isn't difficult to figure out but it's definitely a page turner. A most entertaining read. ( )

    I'm a little biased. I love weddings, Grace Kelly, and her dress.

    What a love story of 3 generations of women wearing the same dress but in a different format in 3 different eras. 1958, 1982, and 2020.

    I enjoyed the personalities of the grandmother Rose, mother Joan, and granddaughter Rachel (aka Rocky) and how they related to each other and how this one dress was personal to them in many ways.

    I especially loved Rose who basically took over the atelier in Paris in the 1950s and how they loved her designs and especially what was to be The Grace Kelly Dress.

    The only thing that perplexed me is that when Joan broke off her engagement and got married 5 years later, it never mentioned who he was and never was named either. ( )

    The modern-day feminist game designer. The 80s college girl haunted by the death of her sister. The orphan seamstress in the 50s, striving to learn from the best. And one dress that links them through time.

    My rating honestly falls about 3.5 stars and I rounded up to be generous. While I was interested (for the most part) in what happened to all three characters, I didn't particularly like them. It is love at first sight for the seamstress, Rose, who falls head over heels for an engaged man. Her fight to stay away is not successful. Still, her experience as a seamstress makes her the most interesting.

    Joanie, in the 80s, is engaged to the "perfect" gentleman, but she's more enamored with the idea of marriage than the man she's marrying. In fact, when we meet her, she is constantly forgetting about the poor man. Her quest to live up to her sister's memory takes her from her comfort zone and she finds she doesn't know who she is.

    Rocky, the modern feminist, doesn't want to wear her mother's wedding dress but doesn't feel like she can tell her mother the truth. She came across as your stereotypical modern-day feminist who doesn't want anything to do with anything girly or sweet.

    None of them really stand out and I doubt I will remember them long. An interesting story but nothing spectacular.

    I received an ARC through Goodreads First Reads program and am voluntarily reviewing. All opinions expressed are my own. ( )
