About the book:
Isabel “Izze” Vez, bridal consultant extraordinaire, has been helping brides find The Dress for years. She loves nothing more than helping make wedding dreams come true…but sometimes the happy endings grate on her. How many times can a girl discover someone else’s gown without dreaming of the day it’ll be her turn to wear one?
When James Miles Clayton walks into her life, he represents everything Izze can’t handle: change. He’s determined to bring the Ever After Bridal Boutique into the black…and to prove to Izze that she should give him a chance.
But if there’s anything Izze handles worse than change, it’s trust. She may have a few issues—fine, she knows she does. But will they keep getting in the way of any chance of her own Happily Ever After? She wants to trust God to give her those dreams of love and lace, but that’s going to require some…minor alterations.
My thoughts: 5/5 stars
As I sit down to write this review, I have a hard time conjuring the words to explain what I'm feeling.
This book was.. Incredible. That word lacks when it comes to this story but I cannot summon one that fits this story more correctly.
Simple, yet poetic. That's Palmer's writing style.
Love, Lace and Minor Alterations was cute and lighthearted, but also soul touching and life changing.
The characters were beautifully written in all their flawsome (Flaw filled and awesome) glory.
Izze is sweet, hilarious, strong willed. She's stubborn and has some deep trust issues. (I get it girl.)
Even though she hates change, she went through some major soul changing moments.
By the end of the book she'd become a whole new version of herself, and I don't think anyone's complaining.
Miles was also a wonderful character .
He was witty, kind, and can hold his own when it comes to Izze.
He was flawed just as much as Izze, and that made him an even better character.
The book had serious, heart-felt scenes dashed with humor. Sweet and light while simultaneously being soul touching and heart breaking.
Palmer writes with such grace and poetic beauty. In one particularly beautiful scene I just immediately thought - WOAH.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. Magnificent. Incredible. Fantastic. Amazing
Lovely. Outstanding. Awe-striking. Those are just a few adjectives to describe this wonderful book.
It had great supporting characters, amazing faith defining moments, and ultimately my spiritual life was changed because of this book.
I definitely recommend if you're looking for a book that will make you cry from laughter, wipe a few tears of sorrow, and ultimately fill your heart with love, and renew your passion for Christ.
