The Luxe is like Gossip Girl set in 1899. It was so rich in social history and scandal. You get to know characters from different social classes and even a few historical figures. The prologue more or less tells you what’s going to happen at the end of the novel. Normally, I don’t like being spoiled...
As I was reading this book, I was thinking, "This is Gossip Girl, just set in 1899." I looked on goodreads and one of the reviews here said the same thing, so I'm glad I'm not alone. The problem with this book is that:1. It doesn't FEEL like 1899. It feels like modern day, only with the dresses of t...
I could NOT get past the first few chapters. Perhaps I'll try again another time, but I don't know. That said, I don't want to rate it if I didn't finish it.
I've decided to mark this book as read, but DNF. It's been over a year since I started it and I just can't bring myself to try and read it again.

I enjoyed this book. This is selling as a Young Adult book, but I found it more similar to a Historical Romance with a little twist at the end. There are three more books in the series. Kind of excited to read the next one to find out what happened.
I can't believe that I'm about to rate a book based on the characters over the story itself.The Luxe as a read felt like historical fiction meets Gossip Girls. The historical part was great - the Gossip Girls part - not as much.However, I really warmed up to flow of the story as it moved along past...
