Happy birthday Anna~

Happy birthday Anna Godbersen!

In Manhattan in 1899, five teens of different social classes lead dangerously scandalous lives, despite the strict rules of society and the best-laid plans of parents and others.
As rumors continue about the untimely demise of Elizabeth Holland, an outwardly stricken Penelope Hayes determines to use any means necessary to claim her friend's pre-eminent place in 1899 Manhattan society and to get and keep the attentions of Elizabeth's former fiancé, the wealthy Henry Schoonmaker.

Manhattan's most envied residents appear of have everything they desire: wealth, beauty, happiness. But sometimes the most practiced smiles hide the most scandalous secrets.
In this dramatic conclusion to the bestselling Luxe series, old ties are broken, fresh bonds are formed, and every decision comes at a cost as Elizabeth uncovers a dangerous secret from her past; Diana has an opportunity to follow her heart--and claim her future; Lina discovers money can buy happiness ... for a time; and Penelope finds that life without Henry brings unexpected pleasures.
In the spring of 1929, eighteen-year-old Cordelia Grey and her stage-struck friend Letty Larkspur run away from their small Ohio town to seek their fortunes in New York City and soon find themselves drawn into situations and relationships, particularly with the dazzling Astrid Donal, that change their lives forever.
Scandal, intrigue, and romance follow three beautiful teenaged friends, Letty, Cordelia, and Astrid, as they each try to find love and fortune in glamorous Jazz Age New York.
~All in the Young Adult Historical Fiction section!~
