Okay book
This was an okay book. It wasn't a huge cerebral read, more like a beach read. Both the story and the ending were entirely predictable. I cared about the characters so I kept turning the pages even though there were no surprises. It was a typical story of family secrets and guilt and misunderstandings with a slight twist thrown in by a magical dress. I expect to see it on the Lifetime Channel sometime soon.

Little Black Dress
This novel could be classified as "chick lit." It had a somewhat interesting plot involving self-discovery and betrayal, however I found it to be predictable and trite. The introduction of magic in the "black dress" seemed to imply that magic was needed as an excuse for the decisions that women make in their lives. It is not a book I would recommend to others. It is at best, an "airplane novel."

Little black dress
An easy summer read. Quick to get into..however....totally predictable! Not my kind of read.....a black dress with special powers? In my opinion this book is geared toward younger women. I do not think it is a book club book due to lack of substance... Not enough to discuss other than the relationships between the main characters.

Little Black Dress
On the surface, this book incorporates all the appropriate elements of a story: family relationships, plot centered around a mysterious object, romance and a dusty old Victorian house.
Unfortunately, the premise is not compelling, the characters flat and the dialogue weak. Alternating chapters told from the perspective of two different characters only added to the difficulty in hearing the author's voice. i would not recommend this one.
