“The dress was just as beautiful as she’d remembered. Crafted from rose point lace,
the same lace used on Grace Kelly’s iconic wedding dress, it was delicate and classic
and chic and a million other things Joanie couldn’t even articulate.
“Go on,” her mother said, holding the first part of the dress—the bodice with the
attached underbodice, skirt support, and slip—out for her to take. As a child, it had
thrilled Joanie to no end that the wedding dress her mother wore was actually made up
of four separate pieces. It was like a secret that a bride could have on her special day,
something that no one else knew.”

You guys.

Not to gush but I have to say that ‘The Grace Kelly Dress’ is not only my favorite book on the Spring blog tour so far but it might be my favorite book of the year that I’ve read.

Following three generations of women in the same family and their relationship with the wedding dress first worn by the matriarch of the family in the 50s, through the mysteries of how they met and fell in love with the men they married, I was hooked from the moment I picked it up until the beautifully crafted end.

What hooked me most was these women’s relationships with each other; how mothers and daughters hurt each other, pine for each other, and need each other resonated with me in a way that many perfect familial relationships in books do not.

Rocky’s funky personal style didn’t hurt, either; I loved her bold fashion choices and her unapologetic soul.
