Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
Published: October 26th 2010

Bright Young Things is the first in an epic four-book series about three teenage girls finding their way in the glittering metropolis of New York City and the glamorous mansions of Long Island. It’s 1929 and Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey have escaped their small Midwestern town to chase big dreams and even bigger secrets. In New York, they meet Astrid Donal, a flapper who has everything she could ever want, except for the one thing Letty and Cordelia have to offer—true friendship. Set in the dizzying summer before the market crash, against the vast lawns of the East End and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls will find romance, intrigue, and adventure.

Just as The Luxe books brought the Gilded Age to readers of Gossip Girl, Bright Young Things will bring the Jazz Age to bestselling author Anna Godbersen’s devoted fans and to new readers alike.

Ohmygiddygod! Doesn't this just look delicious? I cannot wait!

Agreed! It really does. I can't wait! I hope it's just as great as The Luxe series.

I'm really looking forward to this one too. I don't know much about the Jazz Age so I hope I'll learn some things too. Great pick!

Lauren said...

The Jazz age? Intriguing. Sounds potentially awesome. Fab pick!

I love the twenties, and I love Anna Godberson. What could be more perfect then both of them together? Great pick!

Wow, nice one! My goal is to start this series right when the first book is released. That way, I won't keep saying "I have to read this! I have to read this!"

Delicious is the perfect word! I have the first Luxe book sitting around my house, but I haven't even read it. And I love historical fiction. I need to get on that!

Okay, it is a HELL YES from me. I love the Luxe and I love the 1920s. This has to be a winner!
