Her carefree attitude and her ability to talk her ability to use her silver tongue to talk her way out of situations was fabulous! Honestly, it was her character that I believed in the most, and understood the most. My favorite character was definitely Astrid.
Each and every character that is brought into the story is fleshed out beautifully, and as a reader you really get to see deeply into their lives. If you are brave, well away we go!įirst of all, I loved the character development that Anna Godbersen put into place in Bright Young Things. This will likely be a rambling review, so if you are afraid, don't read on. Bright Young Things is one of those stories that took me a while to be invested in, but once I was it was with fervor! I'm just stumbling a bit on how to describe precisely what about it didn't sit right with me. I've been sitting here for about 30 minutes with this window open, trying to figure out how exactly to go about reviewing this book. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe comes an epic new series set in the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.Īcross the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall-together and apart. The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined-and more dangerous. All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star.Ĭordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis.
New York is ruled by the Bright Young Things: flappers and socialites seeking thrills and chasing dreams in the anything-goes era of the Roaring Twenties.
