Sinopsis de THE LUXE

The Luxe is the first book in the New York Times bestselling Luxe series by Anna Godbersen.

In a world of luxury and deception, where appearance matters above everything and breaking the social code means running the risk of being ostracized forever, five teenagers lead dangerously scandalous lives. This thrilling trip to the age of innocence is anything but innocent.

Pretty girls in pretty dresses, partying until dawn. Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles and dangerous intentions. White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous hook-ups. This is Manhattan, 1899.

Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattans social scene. Or so it appears. When the girls discover their status among New York Citys elite is far from secure, suddenly everyone—from the backstabbing socialite Penelope Hayes to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker to the spiteful maid Lina Broud—threatens Elizabeths and Dianas golden future.

With the fate of the Hollands resting on her shoulders, Elizabeth must choose between family duty and true love. But when her carriage overturns near the East River, the girl whose glittering life lit up the citys gossip pages is swallowed by the rough current. As all of New York grieves, some begin to wonder whether life at the top proved too much for this ethereal beauty, or if, perhaps, someone wanted to see Manhattans most celebrated daughter disappear...

“Mystery, romance, jealous, 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


Gilded Age Romance: Explore the opulent, treacherous world of 1899 Manhattan, where beautiful dresses hide ugly truths and every party is a battlefield. Arranged Marriage: When the Holland family fortune is threatened, Elizabeth must choose between marrying the wealthy Henry Schoonmaker for duty or following her heart. Friends to Rivals: Elizabeth’s closest friend, the ambitious Penelope Hayes, has her own designs on high society—and on Henry Schoonmaker. Sisters at Odds: While Elizabeth plays by the rules, her rebellious sister Diana is determined to forge her own scandalous path, no matter the cost.
