Review: The Luxe by Anna Godbersen

This is the first book in the Luxe series. It is about New York socialites in the 1900's and it is a cross between Pride and Prejudice and Gossip Girl, it is an easy read. The first book is mainly centred around Elizabeth Holland who is to marry the most eligible bachelor in New York but Elizabeth has many secrets on of them is that she is in love with William, the stable boy. 

This series is magnificent with an amazing story line but shamefully it is poorly written Godbersen tries very hard to draw readers in but she makes the time period seem boring and dull, which it definitely was not! I became frustrated at times because the dialogue and actions of the characters where not suitable to the time frame of the novels.

This series would be a good read for teenage girls who love gossip girl, scandal, romance and vengeance, I guess this book really is an old-fashioned Gossip Girl society!
