For the most part, I really liked the book. I enjoyed the modern day story. The historical part of the book (which I didn't realize was going to be a storyline before I started reading it) took me a little longer to get into, but it's just because I prefer modern stories over historical ones. It all ended up being really good though.
The story of the life of the wedding dress was great. What I didn't like was that it seemed to have powers. That didn't work for me. And I'm not sure what to think of the guy in purple who seemed to span a hundred years and not change. I'm thinking he was supposed to represent God. If that's the case, I'm a little uncomfortable with that as well. I don't think God should be portrayed as a weirdo with bad fashion sense.
Other than those two things, I thought the book was a good read. The character of Charlotte was great (although her name and the historical character's name got accidentally switched a couple of times in the book). I would give the book 3.5 stars. The things that keep it from being a 5 for me are the two things mentioned in the above paragraph and the ending was a little hokey, and unrealistic. But I have a feeling, the author wasn't going for realistic in this book. It lies a little more on the fantastic side of things.
Thank you to the publisher for providing this ebook for review.
