I really enjoyed this book. The story moved quickly and it was very entertaining. Phoebe, grieving the death of her best friend, fulfills a lifelong dream of opening a vintage clothing shop and the people that come into her life and shop help her move on past the guilt and grief she feels while she helps another do the same. A very good read.

I love discovering books I‘ve never heard of on the library shelves. 👀📚😁💕

Ruthiella I never do that anymore! I have too many lists of stuff I “should” read. Discovering gems by chance by just walking the stacks is great! 😀 5y

“I‘m giving these clothes a new lease on life. And I love the fact that I‘m able to restore them. Where there are so many things in life that can‘t be restored.”
