This book was a pretty quick read and I didn't want to put it down. I probably finished in in less than a week. It is a teen read but still fun and light.
Here is a quick summary of what it was about:
After the shocking death of Olivia Larsen’s twin sister Violet, Olivia’s parents uproot their family clear across the country to California to start over. Olivia is dreading going to a new school without her beautiful and confident sister to keep her company.Olivia trudges through her first few days at school, merely going through the motions. When her mom announces that the entire family is going to a cocktail party at her new office, Olivia is dreading the event. She finds a dress in one of Violet’s boxes hidden in an empty room in the new house, and heads out to find a tailor to fix the slightly damaged dress. Olivia happens on a tailor shop right down the street from her house, where she meets Posey, a slightly odd young woman who takes the dress and tells Olivia that she’ll drop it off at her house the following morning. When Olivia finds the dress that Posey left on her doorstep, she is shocked to find that it’s a completely different dress than the one she dropped off- completely different, but also completely beautiful. In a time crunch, Olivia puts on the dress. On the way home from a night out, Olivia sits in the back of a cab, sad and lonely, and wishes for her sister. She sees a tiny butterfly fly off of her dress and thinks she must be crazy. The following morning when she wakes up, her sister is sitting in her bedroom. As a ghost, but still present. With her sister around, Olivia meets some new friends and puts her way out there and learns some important lessons.
