The cover of the book was the first thing that caught my attention. At first I thought it was a non-fiction about home design - before reading the synopsis. I love the cover of the book.

I love the beginning of the book! The first paragraph of the book clearly shows the personality of the writing style right away: fun and quirky. First page of the book shows the character as someone who is really passionate about her job - home design - as well as someone who pays very close attention to details.

Listing furnitures, home appliances, decors & etc. help readers visualize the setting of the story. It allows me to connect right away with the character as well as the era and theme being set in this story, I felt like I was in the room with her as I read through the paragraph.

As I kept on reading, I felt that the first chapter was a bit draggy. However, I would definitely give this book a try. Love the settings & themes in this novel.
