Girls in White Dresses

I absolutely loved this book! While I read this book, I was also reliving my twenties at the same time. Jennifer Close does a great job of capturing the experience. If you've ever lived on your own and/or kissed a lot of frogs, then this is the book for you.

The book follows the lives of three main characters, Isabella, Mary, and Lauren. The books starts when all of the main characters are in their twenties and trying to make sense of their lives, as well as trying to figure out what they will do when they "grow up." While they are living in New York City, they experience first jobs, dead end jobs, and deadbeat boyfriends. Throughout the course of the book, all of the characters make progress in both their careers and love lives. But this book doesn't have a happily ever after ending for all of the characters. The end of the book is not wrapped up in a neat little bow. This book is more like nonfiction and true to real life. There really isn't a plot per se, you are reading about the characters' lives and experiences. If you can relate to the characters (and oh boy could I!) this will be enough for you. But if you can't relate to them, it probably won't be enough.

Sometimes I felt like there were too many characters and too many stories and it was hard to keep track of all of the details. That is my only complaint about the book.

This is a book that you will either love or hate. I hope you love it as much as I did!
