You, guys.
This book. Oh, my heart.
First of all, let me say that I went into this book not really knowing what it was about. I knew it was about a dress shop, and Amy Green (who rec’d the book in the first place) said mentioned it was a split time story (which as of late have become some of my favorites). From the first chapter, I was completely enamored by the story. The first chapters are heart-wrenching (read it and you’ll see what I mean). And then I got to Harper’s story and it just hit home.
Harper, our main character, had a dream but felt like she wasn’t good enough. It seemed as if the world was against her from being told that she would be better to find another career path to she wasn’t cut out to be a designer. Oh, I felt for Harper! I know what it feels like to have a dream and not feel good enough — or to be told you’d probably be better off not doing that thing you love. It hurts!
I loved the people in Harper’s life that even though she was ready to give up on her dream, kept nudging her in the direction of her dreams. We need those people in our lives!
Sometimes you read a book and you feel like it was written for you — even if Harper’s story was only one of the stories told. Both stories told in The Dress Shop on Kings Street are sure to touch your heart!
