Beautiful Days (Bright Young Things #2)...

For the bright young things of 1929, the beautiful days seem endless, filled with romance and heartbreak, adventure and intrigue, friendship and rivalry.

After a month in New York, Cordelia Grey and Letty Larkspur are small-town girls no longer. They spend their afternoons with Astrid Donal at the Greys' lush Long Island estate and their nights in Manhattan's bustling metropolis. But Letty's not content to be a mere socialite. She is ready at last to chase her Broadway drea
ms - no matter the cost.

Cordelia is still reeling from the death of her father at the hands of Thom Hale, the man she thought she loved. Now she is set to honor Darius Grey's legacy... and take her revenge.

Promised to Cordelia's half brother, Astrid is caught up in a world of dazzling jewels and glittering nights - and the sparkle is blinding. Charlie Grey is a gangster playing a dangerous game; and for Astrid, Cordelia, and Letty, the stakes could be deadly..

Ok I'll admit it, I have been putting this review off for... well a while. Let's just say that today the that I'm actually writing this review is the 18th... of January. For some odd reason I found writing this review has been difficult, not because the book was bad, cause is actually pretty good -just as good as the Luxe series and the Bright Young Things (#1), actually very good and Anna Godberson has made another of my faves,I think that it was just a lot for that I just couldn't form the right words for it... anyways... on to the review. Its been a few months since the ending of Bright Young Things and Letty, Cordelia, and Astrid are all best friends. I think that this didn't have as much content until the very end when something happens to Astrid. It was still good but the first one was better, I think that this was more of a let's-get-to-know-our-characters-now-that-they're-all-in-the-place-they-need-to-be book.

In My Bookbag (3)...

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Every week you are to share the books you received that week. It could either be ones you bought, or gotten at the library, and ones that you'd receive to review on the blog. I am calling it 'In My Bookbag' because I am always taking books out of the library!

Bright Young Things (Bright Young Thing #1)...

The year is 1929. 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.

Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. 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...

Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined—and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for...and someone will.

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. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.

Across 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. 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.

Anna Godberson has done it again! A must read for those who loved the Luxe series!! If you loved Elizabeth, Diana, Penelope, and Lena then you'll LOVE Astrid, Cordelia, and Letty.
