After a few years apart, they find theirselves all in France, again. Gina's dad lost everything, she can't marry the man she loves now, so she runs to Paris and to Claire. Claire is now the chef of her family restaurant, but she doesn't know for how long. Margot ran to Paris to hide from someone. She can't let Claire or Gina know she's there. A gown left to Claire will bring them all back together.
I don't usually read romance novels, but this one was excellent! It has the 1950's, Paris streets, French food, a haute couture gown and most importantly friendship. I enjoyed getting to know each character. I liked the way Wells developed the characters. She made them real and their problems they had to face are things people face everyday. I could tell she cared for each character.
I would have liked there to be a little more about the men, but that might have taken away from the book and the main characters. I will tell you that this is written in 3 POV's. Though there is romance it's soft and nothing bad, I think that's another reason I enjoyed it. I don't care for a graphic romance novel and this was far from it. Just a sweet little romance thrown in to the mix.
