Young Writers Society

I checked back a couple of pages and there seems to be no thread on this so...

The YA series surrounds New York's upper class of 1899. Beautiful socilites, forbidden loves and serious scandals.

" The introduction centers around two sisters, one of whom is said to have died after being thrown from her friend's carriage into the Hudson. Elizabeth Holland's death is still shady, as no body was recovered and only one person witnessed her death."wikipedia

Admittedly, the introduction is a little hard to get through but soon enough the author pulls through.

I recommed these books. They might not be for everyone (with Gossip Girlesque type characters/plot lines) but even as you may dismiss them now- you may be suprised by absorbing the characters are. There are times when you spot the plot from a mile away but towards the end of the book there's always a massive plot twist which will definately have you 'Oh my God'-ing.

Anyone read any of these?

The Luxe
Rumours
Envy
Splendor (Coming soon)


(:

I've read The Luxe and Rumors, and I'm planning on reading the other ones. I've really enjoyed the books so far, and they are incredibly hard to put down!

You should really continue reading- I love them and yeah, they are really hard to put down (: It's a shame they're not widely heard of if you know what i mean... (They are usually the lower shelf books)

Do you have any favourite characters?

Actually, I didn't really enjoy these books. I found them dull and predictable. Is that too harsh? But really, as I was reading I was like, "Oh, this is going to happen now" and it did.

Anyone else not really like it? Or is it just me?

My favorite character is hands down Will! He is so down to earth and a hard working man (my type of guy!)

Don't read the following spoiler unless you have finished the first book, The Luxe.

Haha, that's hilarious!

I care too much about Penelope, Henry and Lina (oh, and Di) to care for Will.

Response to the spoiler quote above^^^

I hate Penelope and Carolina. But Dianna and Henry seem so cute together. Can't wait to read Splendor!

I enjoyed these as a beach read, But wanted to SLAP Diana in the last one. I was incredibly annoyed.
