Her promise sustains her through turbulent decades and volatile couture houses until, finally, her name is remembered and a legend is born?one that proves impossible for Astrid and Blythe to distance themselves from.

Mehso-so

I really enjoyed Astrid‘s story. She gave me Daisy Jones vibes minus the drugs and rock and roll. I think Blythe‘s story added some depth as well, and I could see a lot of parallels between hers and her mom‘s. And while I understood the want to have a multi-generational story with Mizza‘s (Astrid‘s mom) backstory, I felt hers was largely unnecessary and that the heart of the story would still be there even without it.

2.75⭐️

Bookbuyingaddict Thanks for that it‘s on my kindle and my ever growing TBR maybe il give it a go on the beach 🏝️ nothing lives up to daisy jones 3d
Kristy_K @Bookbuyingaddict Agreed, Daisy Jones is in a class of her own. If you enjoy free-spirited women and multi-generational stories, I‘m sure you‘ll like this one! 2d
