The Luxe Series 5/5 so far

BY:Anna Godbersen
So The Luxe series is in the 1900's about life in upper-class new york debutantes and gossip it covers the lives of Penelope , Elizabeth, Lina,and Dianna and the boys going in and out their rich ball filled lives.
Insert from The Luxe:
That was when Henry Schoonmaker strode through the arched entryway at the far end of the ballroom and the whole world seemed to faint just a little bit. Penelope kept herself upright, even as her heart began to beat triumphantly and her face tingle in anticipation. Even among the dashing and rich, Henry Schoonmaker stood out for being so beautiful and so slippery at once. He came to his friend Teddy’s side, and Penelope rolled her eyes as he began kissing the flurry of gloved hands as well. Henry always looked in good humor and good health— which was due in part to his penchant for outdoor sports and in part to the drink that was his constant accessory—and even from across the largest private ballroom in New York City, the tanned perfection of his skin was evident. He had the shoulders of a general and the cheekbones of a born aristocrat, and his mouth was most often fixed in an expression of mild mockery. Like Elizabeth Holland, Henry was the descendant of one of New York’s great families, but he was much, much less concerned with being good.
Good book and prbably cheap...be out for a couple years =]
5/5 rating on my scale! Great work of art!
