Not my usual choice for type of read but something about this made it sound interesting so it actually made it to my amazon wish list. Who knows maybe a friend will decide to go shopping and orders it for me LOL

It sounds very interesting... and non-fiction you say?

[fashion_piranha]

Absolutely non-fiction!

(Unless the newspapers all come out with the news tomorrow that there is, in fact, no necklace anywhere.)

Now my brain must check out for a few minutes as I sing along with your avatar up there. DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUN DUN DUH!!!!!

I appreciate it when you include "reads quickly" as a descriptor. I'm intrigued by this, but not sold, but knowing it's quick makes me more inclined to try it.

It seriously took me no more than two hours, and that was while I was at work so I had interruptions to check the pool, answer the phone, etc. etc so it really is a fast read.

This seems sort-of like a more adult version of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, which is a cute story. It sounds interesting and definitely more complex since the necklace was shared between a dozen women.

I never did read that book! I always thought it would be so cool if my friends could share clothing between us, but we're so different in height and size that I daresay even the magical pants of The Sisterhood couldn't help us out!

I like the sound of this. Sounds much like a book club I was in....the depth of the group. I'm going to add this one to my WL. Thanks, Suzi.
