Godbersen, Anna. The Luxe. New York: Harper Collins, 2007.
Recognition:

Annotation:
Elizabeth Holland is the “it” girl of the social elite in New York City circa 1899. She is everything a well bred rich girl should be, and she can do no wrong. Until, her secret is exposed and New York’s high society is turned up side down.
Review:
The descriptions of New York City and it’s elite at the turn of the 20th century draw the reader into a world I can imagine much like today. Don’t be intimidated by the length of this novel because once you start reading it, you will not be able to put it down. The Luxe is the first book in a trilogy written by Anna Godbersen. All I can say is, I can’t wait to read the second and third installments of the dramatic cut throat world of high society teenagers living in New York City.
