Shocking revelations.
Unexpected endings.
A spring turns into summer, Elizabeth relishes her new role as a young wife, while her sister, Diana, searches for adventure abroad. But when a surprising clue about their father's death comes to light, the Holland girls wonder at what cost a life of splendor comes.
Carolina Broad, society's newest darling, fans a flame from her past, oblivious to how it might burn her future. Penelope Schoonmaker is finally Manhattan royalty-but when a real prince visits the city, she covets a title that comes with a crown. Her husband, Henry, bravely went to war, only to discover that his father's rule extends well beyond New York's shores and that fighting for love may prove a losing battle.
In the dramatic conclusion to the bestselling Luxe series, New York's most dazzling socialites chase dreams, cling to promises, and tempt fate. As society watches what will become of the city's oldest families and newest fortunes, one question remains: Will its stars fade away or will they shine ever brighter?
My Thoughts:
I truly like this series and I was really looking forward to see how it would all end. It is basically gossip girl in 1900. Drama all over the place. I like the way that the author wrote the books because it gave you a point of view from every angle and let you see little secrets here and there that you usually wouldn't see if it was written in one point of view. I didn't expect a couple of things to end up the way they did in the end but I did like how others happened. I think that the bad people got what they deserved and some got more than they did but it was good nontheless. Nice little series.
