About this audiobook
An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls.
Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It’s said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline’s world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget.
Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline’s old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory’s and Soline’s lives begin to surface. It’s clear that they were destined to meet—and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

One reader has a heavy accent. Very difficult for me to understand even with hearing aids. Listened briefly and gave up. The book may be good but performance was way too frustrating - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

A captivating story with rich characters and believable plot lines. The emotion evoked through each character was palpable. The story line lost some credibility with the author’s decision to make the characters related. This was not necessary to make a magnificent story. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

The beginning was slow and I almost stopped listening. Not one to give up, I continued to listen to the story. It’s turns out, it was a good decision. The interwoven characters come together to create a story of loss, betrayal, hope, family and love. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

What's not to love with a title like that? Loved the characters and the evolution of the story. Definitely a tear jerker at times, at least for me. A novel allows the author to provide all kinds of happenings....and this book is definitely full of them. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Awesome book- with romance and twists and plot turns I didn't see coming. I love the moral "there are no curses, only patterns to be broken" an all around feel good romance with...you guessed it, a happy ending! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

This book has the most apropos title ever--if having a happy ending is the most important part of a book. At first, the characters were likeable and the historical part was interesting, but I began to figure out how everything was going to play out quite early. I think I kept reading it because I just couldn't believe that it would turn out to be sooooo predictable. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I made it through 17 chapters but I couldn’t take the narrator any longer. It’s so sad because the story itself is great. But the accent which is supposed to be French… Sounds like Asian French and something else… - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

I held on to every word needing to know what happened next but I didn’t want the book to end. The best book I’ve listened to in a long time.

Amazing love story with believable and likeable characters. Almost unreal but written in a way it is like magic, an unknown force pulls it together and will make the ending feel magical. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.
