After a Fashion by Jen Turano (part 1)

Welcome back everyone! This weeks read is by a lovely author, Jen Turano. She is wonderful! (Seriously guys she writes good books and is one of the kindest people.) She writes historical fiction with a nice dose of humor, her books are truly delightful. If you are looking for a nice read over the weekend, she's a great go to.
The book we're reading this week is After a Fashion, her first book in her second series. The back of the book reads;
"Miss Harriet Peabody dreams of the day she can open up a shop selling refashioned gowns to independent working women like herself. Unfortunately, when an errand for her millinery shop job goes sadly awry due to a difficult customer, she finds herself out of an income. 

Mr. Oliver Addleshaw is on the verge of his biggest business deal yet when he learns his potential partner prefers to deal with men who are settled down and wed. When Oliver witnesses his ex not-quite-fiance cause the hapless Harriet to lose her job, he tries to make it up to her by enlisting her help in making a good impression on his business partner. 
Harriet quickly finds her love of fashion can't make her fashionable. She'll never truly fit into Oliver's world, but just as she's ready to call off the fake relationship, fancy dinners, and elegant balls, a threat from her past forces both Oliver and Harriet to discover that love can come in the most surprising packages."


Something I thought after reading this book was how do socialital demands affect the choices I make? Just some food for thought. Happy Reading everyone!
