The Luxe

THE LUXE: Anna Godbersen: HarperCollins: Young Adult: 433 pages

Two young women are in love with Henry Schoonmaker and neither of them is his fiancé, perfect society girl Elizabeth Holland. Despite her high society upbringing, proper manners, and engagement to Henry, Elizabeth is in love with someone else, but her involvement with both men creates a tangled web of deceit, jealousy, and misunderstandings. When Elizabeth’s carriage overturns, her death appears to be accidental, but with so many enemies, it could be suicide or even murder.

With its intrigue, romance, and talented writing, The Luxe is perfectly set to be the next big thing in teen literature. A sequel is in progress, and readers will be clamoring for it after their first taste of this addictive new series.
