Summer at Tiffany- sweet summer read

Already made your way through your summer reading list or just realized that we're more than halfway through July and you haven't read any good books yet? We highly recommend Summer at Tiffany. It came out last year but it is one of those books that you'll want to re-read every summer. It is by Marjorie Hart who spent the summer of 1945 working in New York City's Tiffany store. She was a college student from Iowa so this was quite an adventure for her and her girlfriend. It's an absolutely charming read about the big city complete with the sparkle of movie stars and the allure of servicemen on leave. The hardcover book itself is a treasure with pleasing tactile pages with rough edges adding to the sense of a time gone by. The first page asks the question, "do you remember the best summer of your life?" which will either conjure up good memories or sound like a challenge if nothing comes to mind.
