Rumors By Anna Godbersen

Rumors is the sequel to Luxe by Anna Godbersen. The Luxe series are about the Socialites of old Manhattan set back in 1899. If you love fashion, drama and a good mystery here's a quick read for you! The series consists of four books. Rumors is the second and I just finished it in just a week! Wow, in the end it was such a great story! It leaves you wanting to get your hands on the next. Unfortunetly the Barnes and Noble in my area ran out of the third book, Envy! Is that possible??
  Well Rumors isn't my favorite, so far Luxe is still the top book. But it had it's romantic parts, slow parts and shocking parts! I admit most will NOT like this at all but I'm praying the next two books in the series will be better! I hope. :S
 I hope you guys get a chance to read it! Let me know if there are similar books like the Luxe Series! I really want to start reading more of those genres!!

Comment below and let me know if you have read recommendable books please! Anything Luxe, Gossip Girl, It Girl related. Even set back in the Victorian era!

Luxe By Anna Godbersen


I read this book a few months ago and never got a chance to write a review! I think this is pretty similar to Gossip Girl since it is set in New York but in the 1890's!! Specifically 1899 at the end of the year and of the turn of the century. It deals with the society women of the era and the elite society of New York. I love the way Anna told the story though some scenes are very slow. I have two favorite characters: Henry and Diana! Ugh they are amazing and have the best story to tell!! 
Anna discribes the ladies elaborate dresses, the fancy parties and events that  happen in the story with full detail and passion. I can't help but fall in love with the era and the fashion! The life style in that time was luxiorious, of course only for the rich and wealthy class. 

I wish I could travel back and see life in that time. 
Do you have a favorite series? I'd love to know!
For now the Luxe series are top on the list! My next read is Rumors the sequel to Luxe!!
