Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey have escaped their small Midwestern town to chase their big city dreams. In New York, they meet Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have everything she could ever want.
Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls’ fortunes will rise and fall—together and apart.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Luxe series so I had high hopes for this book. It lived up to expectations in my opinion. It was somewhat similar to The Luxe series except that it was set during the Summer of 1929.
Letty and Cordelia were both very likeable characters. Astrid was kinda eh. I think she was the girl you were supposed to not like, but there wasn't much about her to not like.
This book reminded me a lot of The Great Gatsby. If that's a book you liked, I think you would find this book pretty interesting. The back of the book indicates that it'll be a series and it should be an interesting time period to continue this story of affluent young women. I'm looking forward to the next book already.

Thanks for sharing! I was thinking about reading this one... I enjoyed the Luxe series, but I didn't like how the series ended. I still think I'll give this series a shot though. Looks interesting.
