Splendor
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Gossip Girl meets the Gilded Age in this delicious and compelling novel, the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling series from author Anna Godbersen.
In the dramatic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Luxe series, Manhattan's most dazzling socialites chase dreams, cling to promises, and tempt fate. Only one question remains: Will they fade away or will they shine ever brighter?
New beginnings. Shocking revelations. Unexpected endings. This is Manhattan, 1899.
As 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.
"Mystery, romance, jealousy, betrayal, humor, and gorgeous, historically accurate details. I couldn't put The Luxe down!" —Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Gossip Girl series

This fourth and final book ends the Luxe series well. Once again, we are in New York's Gilded Age with the scions of wealth; once again, the older Holland sister is in peril while the younger pursues her true love; and once again, the cover features an unbelievably luscious gown. This romantic series invites readers to suspend disbelief and enjoy a Gossip Girl-style romp through the Age of Innocence. The unfamiliar should start with Luxe (2007), Rumors (2008), and Envy (2009). Love-o-meter: Steamier than you might think. Designed to bridge the gap between teen love stories and grown-up historical romances, these hefty books have never shied away from an undone corset. In Splendor, the young Diana Holland is caught bedding the very-married Henry Schoonmaker and sent home to nurse her broken heart. Will the lovers ever be reunited?-Angelina Benedetti, King Cty. Lib. Syst., WACopyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

In this Luxe franchise ender, each of the protagonists--free-spirited Diana, conniving Penelope, deceitful Carolina, and sincere Elizabeth--gets, more or less, what she deserves. Tragedy and disaster are avoided, and the truth prevails. Historical detail is thinner than ever in this sweeping, romantic volume that instead focuses on emotional crises and dramatic revelations in addition to elaborate costuming and coiffure.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
