Molly Wright is sitting in a beautiful restaurant in Paris with her boyfriend, days before her sister's wedding, hoping he doesn't propose. All she wants to do is design quality clothes, but all he wants is fame and fortune. But it turns out he doesn't want to make her his wife, but his ex."Who'll chase the spiders from my bathtub now?"Sad and surprised, she's prepared to leave for the wedding alone... until her sister calls and needs a favor. Her dress is stuck in Paris and won't be there in time for the wedding, so Molly volunteers to bring it to Venice for her.A whirlwind of complications leave her chasing after the dress with Pascal, the designer's assistant, and Simon Foss, a filmmaker and major distraction. Then begins a crazy journey to keep the dress, her family, and her heart intact.All Dressed Up is a sweet and silly story that kept me mildly entertained... but I didn't love it. It had a mix of silly and sad moments, but it was light on both counts. It wasn't really funny, and it wasn't really sad... it wasn't really anything. It was an overall ok read.What brought this book down for me:- The storyline was perfect for a nice, light and cute read, but I felt as if it went on too long.- There was not enough description of the settings throughout the book and just not enough details overall.- I couldn't connect with the characters, even when I knew about their pasts.But besides that, it was a nice story, and it wasn't bad. Just not something I'll be reading again.Book Stats:Genre: Contemporary RomanceSteam Factor (out of 5): ♥Characters: Not bad, but I couldn't connect with themStoryline: Cute and sweetWriting: Nothing wrong with it, but it was nothing specialPOV: Third PersonEnding: HEA*I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley for an honest review*
