Bright Young Things was a novel that had everything I wanted for being set in the 1920's. It had the air of The Great Gatsby while also including speakeasies under a church that you need to know the password to enter. I felt myself pulled back into one of my favorite time periods, filled with smoke,...

I have to say that this is my new favorite series. I loved how I was immediately invested in the lives of these three ladies. The highs and the lows. If only I didn't have so many other books earmarked to read in January, I would definately continue with this series. I can't wait to read what be...

I was inclined to DNF this, but I powered through & finished it. A 2- or 3- star read at best. I've read a lot of historical fiction that is a lot better than this one, but it wasn't awful.

The fact that Cordelia and Le...

Expectations: I thought this would be an entertaining read. A consuming piece of escapism. I like historical fiction and I was really looking forward to Godbersen’s take on the 1920s.Vs. Reality: Honestly, I struggled with the writing in this book. The idea was fine, I just don’t feel like it was ex...

This was the first book I'd read by Anna Godbersen so I didn't have any expectations or hopes of what her style would be. I wanted to be pleasantly surprised by this book. I really like historical fiction and hoped that this would be very entertaining to read. I enjoyed this book, but there were a f...
