"What a captivating debut! I could not stop reading—following the main character's thoughts, dreams, and emotions, all while being transported to entirely different settings and historical periods. This book covers so much more than the multi-layered life of a high-pressure fashion professional. It made me smile, laugh, dream, and feel deeply. Somebody will surely turn this into a movie!"

"Finding Elle is a beautifully crafted novel that whips you away on a relatable journey of self-discovery. Elle struggles with personal and professional relationships, and perfectionism in her demanding career. Her loss of identity resonates deeply. Each chapter is full of vivid descriptions and metaphors to enhance interest creating an easy flow page after page! The intrigue of the perfume bottle spins the reader into the lives of famous fashion designers who guide Elle into a journey of self renewal.
What I loved most: each chapter pairs perfectly with a recommended song, adding an immersive layer to the experience. The story content is pure, wholesome and very refreshing in today’s landscape I enjoyed the vibrant and precise descriptions of fashion and design. The inspirational messages from iconic designers were just what Elle needed to hear. This story feels ripe for the movie screen! Can’t wait for your next book, Kate!! You’ve got what it takes."

"This debut novel by Kate Brosnan starts slowly but is worth sticking with. Kate uses great descriptive prose to draw us into the world of high fashion and famous design icons. Elle is a career-driven professional beginning to crack under burnout and perceived betrayal. Through magical dreams projecting her into the lives of famous designers, she begins to rethink her ambitions and discover what she really wants. A heartfelt story about personal growth, friendship, and rediscovering oneself."

"This book is incredibly vivid, allowing you to feel, and immerse yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere. It inspires you to take a step back, assess your life, and make changes, no matter how daunting they may seem. The author sheds new light on the history of fashion, and delves into the personalities of the designers rather than just their creations. Overall, it's a well-crafted book that could easily be adapted into a movie."

“I enjoyed this very descriptive story and loved how each character came to life. It’s a great story of how we easily lose ourselves in the hustle and bustle of life. Those with enough courage to step out of their comfort zone and push the boundaries find their true path again. There were several passages that spoke to me, and I saved them. This is a wonderful first novel, Kate… I would say you have a promising future.”
