Loading... Rumorsby Anna Godbersen
The Luxe series is a fun read--juicy, entertaining, and imbued with delicious details of material life for the upper class in turn-of-the-century Manhattan. Anna Godbersen is a young writer and from the first book in the series to the second, you can see her grow as a writer. Her stories become more fluid and her style becomes more graceful. I love the idea of historical fiction for the teen set and I think Godbersen has hit on a potent formula. I admire her willingness to explore the desirability and allure, but ultimate emptiness, of materialism. (  ) KristySP | Apr 21, 2013 |  I can't say much about this book. ( ) jmorrison | Jan 7, 2012 | Mini Review Alright. I'm officially unsatisfied with the ending. Really. I know that not every story can have a happy ending but at the same time, some characters are killed off or taken away some how and it really does not add to the shock value. I still loved this book and all but the end was not good. That's really all I have to say. (  ) xXlovelyxladyXx | Oct 16, 2011 | RWListen | Jun 9, 2011 | I knew from the start that Diana wasn't going to become Mrs. Schoonmaker, but I still hoped through all the book. And, not too surprisingly, my desire wasn't satisfied. I liked Elizabeth's storyline, it's so nice and happy. At the contrary, Diana is having a hard time at home, dealing with her sister's absence, her mother trying to find her a fiancé and her own feelings for Henry. And when everything seems perfect, after Henry and Di's lovemaking and Will and Liz's wedding, total chaos: Penelope aka The Bitch blackmails Henry into marrying her and Will gets shot. I was so surprised by the turn of events that I couldn't close my mouth before 20 minutes :D I'm really enjoying this series and the author's style makes you go back in time in a delightful way.
