Incredible read. I was either laughing or crying all the way to the end.

This was the incredibly vivid and introspective story of the life of miss Vivian Morris… a 99 year old wedding dress designer who came into her own in the vibrant world of 1940s New York City. Glitz, glamor, and so much love!

Took me a little bit, as I bought this right before the Holiday’s but finally finished it last night!

It’s such a great story of living free, growing up and finding ourselves and what makes us “tick”.
Really less of the sexuality aspect although it is part of it but mainly because of the era it takes place in. It’s about figuring out what makes you happy in life and being ok with who you are.

I thought it was very good! I think it’s in the works to being a movie too!

this was the last book my mom recommended to me, and one of the last she read.
i think it'll always be special to me just for that.
