They were all part of the same social scene and they all interacted and bred drama on a daily basis. In the Luxe books, I loved the relationships between all the characters. There are definitely some things I loved about it, but I think this book wasn't quite as layered where the characters are concerned. I have to admit that, for me, Bright Young Things didn't quite hold up to the Luxe series. That cover, following in the tradition of the Luxe covers, is eye-catching for sure. And, really, what's not to like? Runaways, clandestine romances, gangsters, spectacular outfits, and all the alcohol you can drink! Plus, just look at it. Godbersen's Luxe series will be rabid for this one. But nothing's certain in the summer of 1929 and each of the girls will meet challenges they never could have anticipated before the summer's out.įans of Ms. Astrid is delighted to spend the sultry summer in the company of her boyfriend Charlie, sipping champagne and dancing the night away. Letty knows she's destined to be a star on the stage and Cordelia is convinced she can find her father, the bootlegging gangster Darius Grey. Cordelia and Letty are running away from their stagnating lives in rural Ohio. It's 1929 in New York City and Prohibition's going strong, but the booze is flowing for those who know where to get it.
