I first saw this book in a list of recommended books for me and I was so drawn in by the cover art that I just needed to check it out!

It's a beautiful combination of all things fun: a period piece full of fashion, jazzy nights, gossip and murder! What more could a gal ask for? And, what better way to escape my everyday than to step into a fantastic world of music, glitz and glam?

I have been trying to catch up on my true crime podcasts as well, but it is quite nice to step back and take a breather with something fictional compared to the cruel true stories of murder.

The only thing that could make this night better would be if I had a feathered robe while I drew a bubble bath in a claw-foot tub – now that would really set the ambiance to maximum enjoyment! Perhaps I can at least put a face mask on to set the mood?

I may not live in NYC anymore, but I also picked this book up in the hopes that it may be slightly reminiscent of my days of bustling through the New York streets on my way to fashion shows, school, work…you name it!

So, time to kick off the shoes, let my hair down from my high work bun, perhaps light a candle and dive into this new tale…
