The Luxe was truly and really fascinating. It's set in the nineteen century in New York. Where there are a lot of scandals, gossip and notorious boys after pretty girls. The books takes place in many point of views. I really enjoyed Diana's. She would have to be my favorite character. I loved how she acted. She didn't want to be all prim and proper like her older sister Elizabeth. She was more tom boyish and fun. Although, I really liked Elizabeth. And how Elizabeth had her own struggles that she hid from everybody. She had nowhere to turn too when she was caught between helping her family or being with the person she loved.

I can honestly say that I hate Penelope. She is a fake and a liar just like Diana said at the end. I also really don't like Lina. Or Miss Carolina as she goes by at the end. But the only reason why I don't like her because I don't like how kingly she is to Will. Sorry, but I really want Elizabeth and Will to be together. And really hope that she finds him in the next book. I also hope that Diana will end up with Henry and put Penelope in her place which is a low class scum. Haha.

But at any rate, The Luxe was everything that I hoped it would be. And can't wait to read the next one Rumors. I totally recommend it to people who really enjoyed A Great and Terrible Beauty.
