The Keeper of Happy Endings

An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls.

Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It's said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline's world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget.

Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline's old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory's and Soline's lives begin to surface. It's clear that they were destined to meet--and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

Easy read with some good historical fiction. Light on the topic of magic and an overreached ending.

This is only the second book l've read by Barbara Davis and I my heart is shook even more than the previous read. This book had so much depth and impeccably interwoven pieces, just like Soline's dresses. Another incredible plot that deserves to be turned into a film that would enthrall audiences.

There were so many hints that the book was spoiled for me in the first half. Perhaps that was the author’s intention so there wouldn’t be any surprises. I cannot say with certainty as this was the first book of hers that I read. Also, the story started to feel like a soap opera with all the back-from-the-dead drama. Overall, it’s a good read.
