Luxe | Anna Godbersen
The Luxe is the first book in the New York Times bestselling Luxe series by Anna Godbersen. In a world of luxury and deception, where appearance matters above everything and breaking the social code means running the risk of being ostracized forever, five teenagers lead dangerously scandalous lives. This thrilling trip to the age of innocence is anything but innocent.Pretty girls in pretty dresses, partying until dawn. Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles and dangerous intentions. White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous hook-ups. This is Manhattan, 1899.Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattan's social scene. Or so it appears. When the girls discover their status among New York City's elite is far from secure, suddenly everyone--from the backstabbing socialite Penelope Hayes to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker to the spiteful maid Lina Broud--threatens Elizabeth's and Diana's golden future.With the fate of the Hollands resting on her shoulders, Elizabeth must choose between family duty and true love. But when her carriage overturns near the East River, the girl whose glittering life lit up the city's gossip pages is swallowed by the rough current. As all of New York grieves, some begin to wonder whether life at the top proved too much for this ethereal beauty, or if, perhaps, someone wanted to see Manhattan's most celebrated daughter disappear..."Mystery, romance, jealous, betrayal, humor, and gorgeous, historically accurate details. I couldn't put The Luxe down!" --Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Gossip Girl series

Another reread for me. I can definitely see why this was a favorite of mine the first time through. Being caught up in all the glamour and drama is a nice distraction for sure.

Set in New York during 1899, the story follows a group of teenaged socialites and social climbers (and their parents) jockeying for money and status. I had a hard time rooting for any of the characters.

Gorgeous cover art, though.

Hello everyone, it's time for #coverlove #YAedition where I post about new books coming out with fab covers.

Our first book is actually a rerelease. To be honest I hate these covers. The original covers represent the story better. It's like Gossip Girl at the turn of the 20th century (1900). It was throughly predictable but very popular.

July 3. Grades 8+

Suetara Just saw the new covers today and they are awful. I enjoyed the books (sometimes Cheetos for the brain are what you need) and the original covers were beautiful. Totally agree with you that the former ones represented the books better. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Suetara I call it Brain Candy but yeah. Thats why I read it. I saw them in person today to and they are hideous 6y

March 14: #MarchInBooks series; I discovered these when they first came out and fell in love! It‘s like Gossip Girl set at the turn of the 20th century, and it is fabulous! I definitely suggest a read if you love your historical fiction with a soap opera-y twist! (Also, happy Pi Day!! 🥧🥧🥧🥧😛😛😛😛)

This one was fast-paced, fluffy, and mostly about people misbehaving in 1899 New York City. Definitely a change of pace from In the Miso Soup but I did enjoy it despite myself. I might even continue the series.

2: high rank or social importance.

Elizabeth or Diana?

Vapid, spoiled rich girls abound, but a decent read if you are in the mood for something light.

This was a fun and entertaining audio - like Gossip Girl, if it took place in the 19th century. It does get tiring after awhile, though, of the characters constantly living up to the 'mean girls' stereotype. All over a worthless degenerate boy.
