Many thanks to NetGalley and Blue Box Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the collaboration between Randy Susan Meyers and MJ Rose - 4.5 stars!
Estranged half-sisters Gabrielle and Lulu both have lots of debt and unresolved feelings over their not-so-maternal behaving, recently-deceased mother, Bette. When they have to meet at the lawyer's office to go over her will, they are expecting to receive money to help them get out of their debt and then they can go their separate ways again. But they are both shocked when they realize that their mother left them the contents of a secret closet filled with designer clothes, as well as lots of rules about what they can do with it.
This was a good book to curl up with and escape into. Even if you aren't into high fashion (and I certainly am not!), this was a peek into a different world. But more than that, it is really understanding what was important to our parents, their past, and the things they cherished. In this world where us older folk are faced with the knowledge that our children don't want any of the things that we have spent a lifetime accruing and that are valuable to us, this story of children learning to appreciate that was a breath of fresh air and hope! It's also a story of working through grief and moving on, with the help of good friends and family.
