The Dress Shop of Dreams by Menna van Praag is a story of romantic love in a myriad of expressions and a set of intersecting lives. It's not quite the feel good book I expected, but it is a very quick, very easy read. A few stitches in a dress, a little magic - All it takes is a little suspension of disbelief to spend a quiet afternoon with this story.

This was an enchanting, mystical book that I enjoyed. It reminded me a little of Cecilia Ahern's writing. The characters are easily relatable and I like how Ms. Van Praag intertwined them into the storyline. At first you think they are all separate but then through the story they come together. There is mystery, magic, love and some sadness. A very nice light read that took me on a little trip from real life. I look forward to reading more from this author.
I loved the way the author used a bit of magic to weave all the characters together. It is a story about love, heartbreak and if only.
