A Vintage Affair: A Novel Audiobook

" This was a fun, light read. Easy to get into, especially if you have a fondness for clothes. Very relatable, and everything seems to work out for the best in the end. It makes you feel good about going forward - a good book for a new year. "

" Ho-Hum. Formulaic. The Vintage Clothes were my favorite character! 2 stars for the book, 1 extra star for the vintage clothes! "

" This was an enjoyable book to read with a happy ending. Great vacation book! "

" Interesting premise for a story and very likeable characters, but wrapped up way too easily without a lot of depth. "

" This story is a relaxing change from most current chick-lit which seems to focus on the number and diversity of sexual encounters a woman can have, just because she can. It's not deathless prose but kept my attention, even through a second reading two years later. My biggest complaint is that it should have had pictures of the dresses! "

" This was a fun quick read. Book is for my Book Club. "

" Characters and plot were thin, predictable... But the vintage clothes! I never cared about vintage stuff before, but the descriptions gave me a new appreciation and it was fun to learn about designers and styles. "

" A surprisingly good read . . . even if some may call it chick lit. Very well written and paced, as well as researched - even a bibliography. Hard to put down. "

" Enjoyable little book with a very strong emotional story behind it, as well as a deep historical story that helped heal Phoebe's pain and teaching her to let go. Beautiful descriptions of the garments, makes me want to go vintage shopping even though I don't own a piece a vintage myself! "

" A nice read for a lazy day. A bit depressing but works out in the end. I longed for pictures of all the fabulous clothes. "

" I really liked this book and found it hard to put down. The book had romance, history of fashion and a Holocaust story. Very good! "

" Yawn......I kept waiting for this book to get better, but it never got really exciting. Miss Bell's sad back story offered more interest than the main characters whole life. "

" This book made a for a nice summer read. There were parts that were predictable but it was balanced out with an interesting story from the holocaust and wondeful descriptions of vintage clothes! Overall, this was a nice uplifting read! "

" Love the vintage clothing idea. The story went back and forth a bit, and fizzled a bit, but over all loved the book. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Loved the fashion speak. "

" This book was such a surprising treat to read. The description of the book left so many elements of the book out... which were elements I loved! "

" Charming story of the present intertwined with the past. A little too perfect ending where every one reconciles nicely. "

" * review to come * "

" Fun, easy to read chick lit. "

" This is a frothy, light confection, which is just what I was in the mood for when I picked it up. I'm a serious lover of vintage, so this hit my sweet spot, as they say, and despite the fact that it's not written very well, I enjoyed the quick read. "

" It' s too intense, too many details. "

" I loved this book...I couldn't put it down. "

" Well written, really enjoyed the plot and the characters! Vintage Affair is definitely a book i would recomend to a friend! "

" I enjoyed this book and recommend it. Its a very easy read with interesting stories throughout... this is what I need with two small kids around because I read at night and am so tired. But this I was able to stay awake for. ;-) "

" This was a very charming book! Not only did it make me want to go shopping for vintage clothes, but I also want to check out Blackheath in London. I love that this story is so much more than a love story, but also a story about moving on and not holding onto regrets. "

" I really liked this one. The ending was sad but fantastic, I found myself liking all the characters and I can't wait to read more of her books. "

" I could not put this book down! It is a novel rich in detail with strong characters. It's so much more than chick lit! "

" I really liked the plot for this books. It was a refreshing easy read! "

" I wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I did as I thought it might be as fluffy as the "cupcake" dresses mentioned, but it was a terrific story with serious themes and issues woven in. I read it over a Friday/Saturday and couldn't be torn from my nook! "

" This was a light and easy read, but had some depth as well. It really peaked my interest of vintage clothes as well. Now I can't wait to go visit some vintage clothes stores. "

" I thought this one was cute. Easy to read, interesting and humorous. I liked the plot "twist" with Mrs. Bell, although it was a bit predictable by the time you got to it. This was an enjoyable chick lit selection that, to me, had more substance than many books in this category. "

" Lots of great stories within the main story. Loved all the details of the clothes but wish there were some pictures! Some sad parts and dragged in places but overall a good book. "

" Loved this book. Romance, history, excellent story. "

" I enjoyed this book, however i found myself skimming the sometimes tedious descriptions of the clothing. I would have liked to have seen the characters developed with as much care and detail as the clothes. "

" This was great. I put off reading since I heard bad reviews, but I thought it was amazing. I really liked the entwined storylines of Phoebe and the people she meets due to her makeing the life changing choice to open her shop. Great references to WWII. "

" Brit chick lit, my favorite kind, and includes clothes and a morality tale. Even the morality tale didn't stop me from finishing this (usually the last 1/4 of these book are, in my eyes, filler). I liked it. "

" The plot is predictable, but I love all of the clothes! "

" A great little story about a vintage clothing store owner, the clothing she purchases, the people she comes in contact with, and all of their individual stories. Quite enjoyed it. "
