This book was the perfect novel for my car book (I keep a book in the car to read while waiting for my kids to get out of school or at various activities). The chapters are short, yet still cover the necessary information to transition from one character’s storyline to the next. However, the book was hard to put down! I sometimes would sit in the car for a few minutes after arriving home. Quinn’s writing is good, although a bit cliche-ish at times. I loved reading about the “old” department stores that I remember as a young adult (May Company, Buffums) that no longer exist. Since I had no idea of how the fashion world work, this was an interesting view of the workings of a major fashion store.
Besides being an author, Darlene Quinn actually worked in the world of department store management. Her other two books, Webs of Power and Twisted Webs are both winners of the National Indie Excellence Awards and finalists in the USA National Best Books Awards.
