I LOVED this book about the wonderful best friendship between Elyce Arons and Katy Brosnahan, who were two of the co-founders of Kate Spade. They shared such a beautiful friendship and that friendship left a lasting legacy that we can all cherish. It used to be that we knew the beauty of Kate Spade for the fashion designs, but this book will make you thoroughly enjoy the beauty of the woman, and in having a best friend.

I've always loved the Kate Spade brand, and I currently use a Kate Spade wallet, purse, and lunchbox every day! So I knew I had to read this book. Of course, it is more about Elyce's life, her friendship with Katy, and how they started the business together. It was well written, and they had interesting lives. So sad when she committed suicide, and that no one saw it coming and could help her.

This book is so great. It tells a great story of a friendship between two girls. The story goes quickly but tells you just enough about Kate Spade. It’s a story of love, loss, friendship and business. I truly appreciate the story.

All the stars. A poignant story of best friends through it all. I loved the audio! Elyce narrates and you can feel her excitement, pain and happiness in her storytelling.

Incredible memories of the 1970s to 1990s. Loved hearing about their past and the retail insight. They both had such an incredible friendship! It is truly a family.

I devoured this book. I was a fan of Kate Spade's designs and owned several of her iconic handbags. This account of her long friendship and business partnership with the author is, thankfully, NOT a psychological post mortem. It is the story of how two scrappy Midwestern young women and their friends and partners built an internationally admired and quintessentially American fashion brand. I enjoyed the author's account of living in gritty downtown New York City in the 1980's. It is so well written that this reader, who is not typically interested in a "how I grew a business" story, was captivated. It is also a lovely tribute to a deep and sometimes complicated friendship. Somehow, the author got the tone of this complicated story just right. I was rooting for Katy and Elyce at every turn. Brava and thank you.
