The Christmas Dress

Very fast and easy read. This story was sentimental, with a hint of mystery without becoming "Hallmarkesque" sticky sweet and predictable. Lots of cozy, holiday ambience and activities. Great cast of characters and the setting of the senior apartment building at Christmas time in Chicago was perfect. A rare, enjoyable Christmas read.

5 stars, An enchanting dress THE CHRISTMAS DRESS by COURTNEY COLE Publisher WILLIAM MORROW and CUSTOM HOUSE An enchanting dress is what it takes to bring two women together as fast friends and create the dream of a lifetime. Meg Julliard leaves her unfulfilling job in the fashion industry in New York, to come home to Chicago to settle her father's affairs and take over the management of her late father's apartment building, Parkview West. She finds the crumbling building and all of the tenants are overwhelming and endearing. Now, if they will only give her a chance to improve everything. Logan is Mr. Fixit for Parkview West. He likes the old building and wants to help to keep it in a good state of repair. Then another tenant gives Meg a beautiful Christmas dress and it fits her, she is amazed. Join Meg, Logan, and the other tenants to find out the amazing history behind Parkview West and the amazing Christmas dress. Highly recommend.
