Little Gray Dress

Look for good thing from this author

Little Grey Dress is the first book from Aimee Brown. I found her writing engaging and fresh. The story will appeal to those who want to focus on the intricacies of circumstance and romance rather that the physical side. The book is written in a style of present day and flashback chapters. That style isn't my favorite, I found, but the plot more than made up for it.

Stephanie Einstein did a great job with narration and I found her easy to listen to. If you want a sort-of who-dunnit romance, this is the book for you. I'll listen to more books from this author.

too too cute!

1st book I've read by Aimee Brown ...such a great style. At times funny, sarcastic, silly ... I can not imagine ... I am curious how she came up with silly thoughts or story line. Love the cover. a quick read for me ... I know when I got married ... I wanted my bridesmaids to be able to re-use their dress ... one even cut it shorter and make it more of a party dress. I would think more brides would realize that this is a smart idea.

Great performance, so-so story

I love Stephanie Einstein's narration. The story left something to be desired, as the character development was spotty at best. Certain characters were introduced to both the reader and the protagonist as evil villains, yet there are moments in the book we're said characters seemed genuine, warm, and hospitable toward the protagonist. These discrepancies weren't explained or discussed whatsoever in the book, which left me wondering if I imagined these disparities. I did like the fact that the protagonist stood up for herself each and every time it was warranted. I don't like when books showcase a character who keeps her mouth shut and doesn't explain very explainable things. This however is in contrast to Jack, who was portrayed in the book like a weak, sniveling sucker in many ways. He didn't force certain people to listen to him when necessary, and he blindly jumped into a relationship with someone he knew to be unworthy of his love. I found that ridiculous.

Predictable but cute

This story was mostly predictable but a good, easy listen. Worth the time if you’re looking for something light and easy to listen to.

Lame-don’t waste the credit

This book was so disappointing bc the reviews were so good! The characters were shallow and unbelievable..there were some who were introduced as if their parts would be significant and then they just fell off with little to no explanation..Liam was just ridiculous and served no real purpose, it was actually baffling how poorly written his entrance/involvement/exit was. The entire plot was underdeveloped and when I was listening I would find myself just shaking my head. Don’t waste your money on this silly excuse for novel.

So predictable

This started out to be an adorable story until the events that continued were characters of not much substance. I listened to it all but was very disappointed in the outcome. It’s one of those books that has a woman thinking things that weren’t what they seemed. A guy that was caught in the middle and a horrible “other woman” which was found out. See! Yeah I didn’t give too many spoilers, but it just seemed like the main character gave in so easily, and seemed like “oh well”. Then all was “and the lived happily ever after”....boring

Funny, heartwarming and well written

I really enjoyed listening to this book and I can’t wait to see new books on audible by Amy Brown. Characters were well written story was heartwarming.The narrator is perfect for this book

Awful - unlikable characters

I could only stand this book for 5 chapters. With friend and family like this you don't need enemies. Either the heroine is an idiot or she never bothered to tell ANYBODY about what her fiance did. I'm returning this because these people are awful.

Lighthearted Chick Lit

Fun book with a great narrator. A feel good, easy read. Light and airy. Suspend disbelief and bask in the love.

Contrived

It is so contrived, every awful thing happens to Emi is too over the top to transform her into a raving beauty. Not for me.
