One Dress, one year recounts the writer's experiences over the course of a year in which she made and then wore one dress everyday in order to raise awareness and money for sustainable fashion and human trafficking. The author is young and idealistic, which shows in the writing. She's very sincere but small moments become big dramas, which means the book is more about her, and her growing up, than the issues.

Really liked this book. Liked the characters and story flow. Entertaining read. Interesting concept to bring awareness to a real problem. Would recommend. Voluntarily review from ARC from NetGalley.

This is a book about the life of a young girl over the course of a year. It happens to be a year where she wears the same dress every day to bring attention to human trafficking and an attempt to raise money to fight it. She is 16 & 17 during the course of the book and it reads like you would expect the diary of a young woman to read. She stresses about how she looks, her self-esteem, why she isn't raising more money, etc. But right up front, Bethany admits that she didn't really know what she was doing. Sadly, this remains the case throughout the book. I wish someone would have helped her set up her challenge and worked with her to market herself outside of her little homeschooled religious group. But again, she was young and this is more about her dealing with how to dress herself and accessorize the dress than actually fighting human trafficking. If you read it with that understanding, it is a good book.
