Synopsis

A charming, hilarious, irresistible romp of a novel that brings together nine unrelated women, each touched by the same little black dress that weaves through their lives, bringing a little magic with it.

Natalie is a Bloomingdale's salesgirl mooning over her lawyer ex-boyfriend who's engaged to someone else after just two months. Felicia has been quietly in love with her boss for seventeen years and has one night to finally make the feeling mutual. Andie is a private detective who specializes in gathering evidence on cheating husbands—a skill she unfortunately learned from her own life—and lands a case that may restore her faith in true love. For these three women, as well as half a dozen others in sparkling supporting roles—a young model fresh from rural Alabama, a diva Hollywood star making her Broadway debut, an overachieving, unemployed Brown grad who starts faking a fabulous life on social media, to name just a few—everything is about to change, thanks to the dress of the season, the perfect little black number everyone wants to get their hands on . . .

Goodreads review by Elisabeth on October 29, 2021

2.5 stars A light, palate cleanser. The title, Nine Women, One Dress, explains the gist of the plot. For so much hype around this highly sought after, fashionable dress, the author didn’t describe the dress in much detail. Maybe I read the novel too slow, but the plot jumped around a lot. I couldn’t......more

Goodreads review by Melany on July 10, 2022

This was a cute book. Had a bit of slow moments so that's the reason for my rating. Cute and interesting how many lives were touched by one dress. Really wanted to see more of the blossoming of relationship happen between Natalie and Jeremy.......more

Goodreads review by Evie on May 13, 2016

This is the BEST book I've read in years. It's fantastic! It's the perfect summer read. I promise. It's written in first POV, and it's not your regular romance story. There are several protagonists, each with their own story and all are somehow connected to the "little black dress" of the season. Each......more
