Lucie's Review:
Sarah Cummings grew up an orphan with a longing for what she believes to be the better things in life. Sarah is a maid in the Banning household, and she is good with a needle and thread so when the society ladies cast off their old clothing, Sarah takes it and remakes it. But when she befriends a society lady by the name of Lily, Sarah feels the need to impress her, and makes up a whole new identity for herself as Serena Cuthbert. Before she knows it Sarah is balancing two lives. In a world that judges by appearances, will Sarah find out who her real friends are?
The newest installment in the Avenue of Dreams Series bring back many of the characters from the previous books, and delves into the life of Sarah Cummings.
I really liked the characters of Lily and Simon, because they were honestly and completely themselves. They were always true to their character, and values.
I guess the main part of the book was about Sarah and how she came to terms with her life and found contentment with where she was, than about a romance or relationship.
Overall, to be honest this was a hard book to read because Sarah kept digging herself deeper into the hole that she made for herself. But in the end it was a good story and it all came together well. So a tougher read with a good ending.
