This is my first Natasha Lester novel and I can’t wait to read  more. This book takes place in three different timelines and three different POVs. It is set in the fashion world, across decades and even continents, surrounding a real life character amongst fictional characters. It showcases how vicious the fashion world was with women. Mostly women worked and contributed to fashion but men received all the credit. There’s also appearances from Coco Chanel, Christian Dior and other fashion icons. This novel is powerful and beautifully written. It touches on abandonment, mental health, discrimination and of course misogyny. I loved the author’s vivid descriptions which made me almost believe it was all true. Highly recommend! 
4 stars!!⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
