Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes! I had a five- or six-hour flight across the country and I read the whole book during the flight. My plan had been to nap, but that went right out the window once I started the book.
I really enjoyed Ms. Biel’s use of the art of sewing. I liked learning about it, and I fancied myself quite the seamstress when I finished the book. That lasted about five minutes.
The interactions between all the characters was fun to read, and I was laughing so hard at some of their antics. The bathroom scene had tears rolling down my face; I’m sure the other passengers thought I was touched in the head. I was so happy with the ending, too!
Would I recommend it? Absolutely! This is the first book in the series and you can bet I’ll be picking up the rest of them!
About the book – from Goodreads: Michele’s lack of focus in life hasn’t bothered her, until the day she finds herself with mounting credit card debt, unable to afford her rent, and without a job. While her meddling family questions how she can end up in this predicament, at the age of 29, and single to boot, Michele doesn’t want to admit the truth. All she wants to do is sew.
Faced with the prospect of moving back into her parents’ house, Michele throws a Hail Mary pass and applies for a TV design contest, Made for Me. In order to win the contest, Michele will have to compete with nine other contestants to design the new wardrobe for Duchess Maryn Medrovovich, who’s about to marry Prince Stephan of the United Republic of Montabago.
While in the seclusion of the show, Michele starts to realize where her focus in life should be, and what’s truly important to her. However, a dashing competitor might just cause her to lose her focus once and for all. Can Michele keep her eye on the prize while being true to herself?
