Dear Manolo

by Linda Jamison

Amanda West moved to Chicago to figure out her life. It's what you do after college―go out into the world and pursue your dreams. Immediately, she takes a job at Elle magazine, but when the pressure gets to her, she bails. The problem is it's been several years now, and she's stuck in a rut. Currently, she works as a home health care assistant to some exceptional patients on Chicago's Gold Coast. It's a great job that gives her satisfaction in helping people; it's in her nature. But what is also in her character is a fondness for fashion―it's buried, but it's there. Now she feels a void in her life. Amanda is searching for something, and although she can't quite put her finger on it, she feels it every day. But in a striking twist of fate Amanda finds her mundane life fueled with passion and magic when a dear patient bequeaths her a parting gift. One pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes "magically" spins her world from glum to glam. No one could predict the adventure about to unfold.

Fun romance story

The story started out really great! It was a fun adventure. But The ending kind of fell off a cliff. I wish there was more detail and closure.
