Phoebe Swift’s friends are stunned when she abruptly leaves a plum job to open her own vintage clothing shop in London—but to Phoebe, it’s the fulfillment of a dream, and her passion. Digging for finds in attics and wardrobes, Phoebe knows that whe...
I don't know if the author did a good enough job doing character development on this book. I rather enjoyed Dan, and her mother, but the main character wasn't that likeable to me. Emma was a child, and after her behavior not quite that great a friend. But then, Pheobe wasn't a great friend at all......

Her life isn't completely happy; however, because she's still trying to deal with the loss of her best friend. She blames her ...
I enjoyed this one a lot! The authors weaves a delightfully charming story that pulls at your heart strings and made me want to open my own vintage clothing store! LOL Just a really great read. :)
I have a hard time coming up with a genre for this one, reviews have said it's a lovely romantic comedy and she is described as writing chick-lit.
