Maybe their status as the leading social butterflies is not as secure as they perceive it to be. Suddenly, everyone-from the backstabbing socialite Penelope Hayes, to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker, to the spiteful maid Lina Broud-threaten Elizabeth's and Diana's golden future. And then Elizabeth disappears and New York begins to grieve. Was it all too much for her or was there a more sinister motive to her disappearance. Follow the lives of these five teenagers leading scandalous lives. This is the story of book one of the Luxe Series: by Anna Godbersen. Think Gossip Girls set in the 1800’s!

A really good read of social class, wealth (and what it meant to marry into it), social conduct, and scandal. One wrong action could end your social standing for all time! Scandal could ruin families, and pressure on how society perceived your actions could sway important decisions....
