This book was fashionable, fabulous, and feisty! I loved this one. Natasha had me hooked with Alix's book last year and diving into Astrid's world was nothing short of incredible. I thought the multi-pov between the three generations of women was such a smart way to tell this story. As a fashion lover myself, it was really cool to see more of that world at a different time. I thought each woman was unique, but also had similarities that repeated throughout the story. The mystery aspect was also great and I was on the edge of my seat wondering what had really happened to Astrid. This was a powerful story about women for women. I was raging right along with the characters and the different thoughts that people had about Astrid were appalling, but not unsurprising based on when the book took place. I also did really enjoy Astrid and Hank's partnership not only in the fashion world, but also romantically. I'm excited to read more of Natasha's backlist! Thank you to Forever Publishing for sending me an ARC to read and review.
