Meg finds herself back in her hometown of Chicago after her father passes away having given up her aspiring career in fashion to manage the apartment building her father owned. Full of elderly and eclectic tenants, Meg is thrown into the deep end when she realizes what state the building is in. Throw in a very attractive handyman and some awkward encounters and things become a bit bonkers. But she connects with Ellie, a longtime resident, who is preparing to reluctantly move into a nursing home, and is gifted a dress that is the symbol of the best and worst night of Ellie's life. The dress is a catalyst for inspiration, change, and maybe a little Christmas magic. Perhaps these ladies will both get the happy endings they so desire.
For some reason when reading this summary I was under the impression this was a dual timeline historical fiction/contemporary novel. It is not. It is fully a contemporary novel. It was cute. A fun Christmas-y romance that wasn't too romance heavy. The worst part of this book is it overuses the idea of ovaries being overloaded with attraction. Like, does anyone actually feel that sensation? I think not.
