Dress, Memory by Lorelei Vashti
3.0
A quick, easy read, this book was light & entertaining. It felt like an older sister reminiscing about her 20's.
Vashti's writing style was good & the book flowed well. The theme of having a dress to represent each year & the memories surrounding it was clever & tied the chapters together nicely.
It did become a bit repetitive though & at times her inability to get things together grew tired. So although a probably realistic account, it wasn't the most entertaining approach.
I also found the end annoying because it felt like whenever Vashti realised she wasn't going to get something she'd already justified to herself that she actually no longer wanted it which seemed immature.
A nice, light beach read all the same.
