I'm not sure if this is what happens every time one reads a soap opera. like I had spent several hours of my life that I couldn't get back. Yet when I got to the end I felt strangely let down. Good enough for me to read the whole thing at any rate. The Luxe was an interesting enough story. This Review: 6.3/10 Storyline: Characters: Value for Money: Personal Choice:

This thrilling trip to the age of innocence is anything but innocent.

In a world of luxury and deception, where appearance matters above everything and breaking the social code means running the risk of being ostracized forever, five teenagers lead dangerously scandalous lives. As all of New York grieves, some begin to wonder whether life at the top proved too much for this ethereal beauty, or if, perhaps, someone wanted to see Manhattan's most celebrated daughter disappear. But when her carriage overturns near the East River, the girl whose glittering life lit up the city's gossip pages is swallowed by the rough current. With the fate of the Hollands resting on her shoulders, Elizabeth must choose between family duty and true love. When the girls discover their status among New York City's elite is far from secure, suddenly everyone-from the backstabbing socialite Penelope Hayes, to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker, to the spiteful maid Lina Broud-threatens Elizabeth's and Diana's golden future. This is Manhattan, 1899.īeautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattan's social scene. White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous hookups. Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles and dangerous intentions. Pretty girls in pretty dresses, partying until dawn. Price: $36.99 Available: December 2007 The Luxe product reviews
