"I fell in love with Crosby, Stills, and Nash's song 'Southern Cross' when I was fifteen. By the time I got to college, 'I'm going to sail around the world someday' was sort of my pickup line." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

After bidding good-bye to New York's brightest star, Elizabeth Holland, rumors continue to fly about her untimely demise.

All eyes are on those closest to the dearly departed: her mischievous sister, Diana, now the family's only hope for redemption; New York's most notorious cad, Henry Schoon-maker, the flame Elizabeth never extinguished; the seductive Penelope Hayes, poised to claim all that her best friend left behind—including Henry; even Elizabeth's scheming former maid, Lina Broud, who discovers that while money matters and breeding counts, gossip is the new currency.

As old friends become rivals, Manhattan's most dazzling socialites find their futures threatened by whispers from the past. In this delicious sequel to The Luxe, nothing is more dangerous than a scandal . . . or more precious than a secret.

Synopsis:

The hot new Luxe series continues as Penelope takes Elizabeth's tragic absence as an opportunity to remake her image, Lina continues her own identity makeover by latching onto a wealthy benefactor, and ill-fated lovers Diana and Henry struggle with their emotions--and each other.

In the second of four books you pick up two months after the "death" of Elizabeth. This is a book filled with romantic moments, and heartbreaking tragedies. Godberson is a incredibly talented writer, who can get anyone to fall in love with her writing. While the changes in Diana Holland's personality can be annoying and I miss the old Diana, the ending lines in the book make me hopeful for some amazingly good sister scheming in Envy! A must read for everyone, no matter age.
