Louise Lambert is your average middle school student, with the exception of one thing that really sets her apart from the crowd—Louise loves fashion, especially vintage. She'd much rather go to a vintage clothing store than a glossy shop at the mall, and is working on building her soon-to-be extensive collection of vintage clothes. So when she one day receives an invitation to a pop-up vintage clothing store, she absolutely can't wait.
The store is perfect for her, filled with wonderful finds, and when Louise discovers a beautiful pink dress, she can't resist trying it on. But when she does, a strange thing happens—the store around her disappears and she is transported into the past. Now she's Alice Baxter, stunning teenage movie star, aboard a luxurious cruise ship... and Louise is loving it. Until she finds out the name of the cruise ship. Turns out, Louise is on the Titanic, which is fated to crash into an iceberg and drown hundreds of its passengers. The only way for her to get back to the present is to put the dress back on... but it's gone missing! Can she find the dress and go back to her normal life, before it's too late and she's stuck in the past forever?
I really liked this book for two main reasons. 1) The pictures. This is one of the rare novels that has full-color pictures every so often, which is AWESOME!! Also, the pictures are of beautiful dresses, which I think are very nice. 2) The plot/story idea. It really is amazing nobody thought of this before, because this is a really fun idea, and Bianca Turetsky could really have fun with this. It's surprisingly action-packed. While this book may not be as interesting for some people, it's a really great book for fashion-lovers and people who are just looking for something new and fresh.
This book is actually part of a series, The Time-Traveling Fashionista, and Louise has, as of today, 2 other adventures: The Time-Traveling Fashionista at the Palace of Marie Antoinette and The Time-Traveling Fashionista and Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile.
