Helpful Score: 6


If you liked the Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff and the Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen then you'll like this book. This is a coming of age story about a girl about to graduate college who is trying to figure out where she fits in. The book is filled with beautiful dresses, some southern charm, and good writing. It's a lighthearted book (despite the fact that the story line about her grandmother's stroke is more serious). Upbeat enough to be escapism, but written with enough skill to be very enjoyable and leaving you feeling satisfied.
