Someone Else’s Love Letter – Deborah Blumenthal (2016)

 

Sage works her magic helping people change their lives by transforming their wardrobes. When she comes across a letter to a lost love left behind in a cab, she is so enthralled by its heartfelt sentiments, she wants to track down the letter writer. But her quest isn’t that simple, leading her to a number of characters, including a free-spirited artist. Personally I didn’t think the letter was that inspiring that it would lead anyone on such a hunt but I did enjoy the twists in the search as well as reading about Sage’s job as a wardrobe consultant and her experiences volunteering at a children’s hospital. Overall, this is a well-written story with a message about taking a chance. But it seemed unfathomable that Sage would go to all that effort without finding out what happened to the letter writer’s love affair. Not tying up this thread – the inciting element of the entire novel – seems like a major misstep.

Rating 6/10
 
 

Someone Else's Love Letter, by Deborah Blumenthal, is centred around a wardrobe consultant. The summary says: "Fixing your wardrobe is a dream job. Fixing your life is a work of art. Sage Parker has the perfect occupation for a Manhattanite - she helps the rich and powerful keep their wardrobes current and suitable for every need. Her sense of fashion is impeccable, her connections are unsurpassed, and her eye misses not a single well-made stitch. So when she discovers a love note left in the back of a cab, Sage admires the card stock and the ink, but also the heartfelt words. She sets out on a mission to find out who the love note was intended for - and who wrote it. What Sage discovers will broaden her horizons and change her life, introducing her to an extraordinary woman who is revamping her entire world midway through life, a dashing Brit with a hive of secrets, and a free-spirited painter, whose brush captures the light in everything he paints, including Sage." Someone Else's Love Letter is out in March 2016.
