...a day in the life of Madeleine Altimari, an aspiring jazz singer. From 7AM on Christmas Eve Eve (I thought only my sons called it Christmas Eve Eve...see my blog about it on nbsmithblog.wordpress.com, but I digress) until the wee hours of Christmas Eve, the story is told about her dream of singing at the Cat's Pajamas, a Philadelphia jazz club.

This is story is not just about Madeleine, who has her share of troubles, but it's also her teacher, Sarina Green and Lorca, the owner of the Cat's Pajamas. All three of them will meet and be forever changed on this one magical night when dreams can come true.

Will Madeleine ever perfect her shimmy? Will Sarina find love? Will Lorca save his club and connect with his son? Told in chapters that divided into minute by minute sections, the story is delightful, lyrical, and upbeat despite some moments of sadness.

I'm reading this RABCK this week. It looks like a nice, easy read. Thanks so much and a big thank you for the note that was written on stationery from a chocolate shop I've been to in Lititz, PA! Love it!

I read this last year but don't remember much about it so it must have been an ok read. Will wild release the next time I get out to check my mail.
