After a Fashion by Jen TuranoMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This was a light and fun historical fiction with a lot of laughter thanks to all the scenarios Harriet and Oliver found themselves in. I loved how their two worlds collided and how Harriet helped Oliver to become more aware of others’ situations and be more compassionate.
Though there was a lot of fun and laughter, there was also some serious moments and a mystery element which I enjoyed, though I did guess the reveal before it happened.
This was a fun, light story with some great characters and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

About the book:
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.
Audie winner Nancy Peterson brilliantly narrates this hilarious book, now an audiobook for the first time!
