The Luxe by Anna Godbersen


SYNOPSIS:  Two sisters are growing up in the late 19th century upper class.  While others try to pair them up advantageously, they try to find true love.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  I think I am getting better at judging books by their covers, but I was disappointed in this book.  It felt more like a trashy romance novel than a book of substance to me.  It includes a lot of drama and some sensuality, without any real payoff in terms of storyline.  I wouldn't recommend this book, and would definitely not recommend it to young readers.

RATING:  PG13 for Sensuality, Language, and some Violence

AUDIENCE:  Young Adults

STARS:  0

BOOKS LIKE THIS:  A Great and Terrible Beauty, similar to Gossip Girl in book format
