"Envy" by Anna Godberson. A bookreview.

Yesterday I finished the third book in one of my favorite series: "The Luxe" series. Altogether it takes place in 1899-1901 and it follows the story of high society teens and the scandals and rumours that surround them. After finishing Envy, I did indeed find myself quite envious. Sometimes I think it would be really fun to travel back to this time frame and live this life....

Anyway, in the third installment of Godberson's series, the dreama continues between Henry, Diana, and Penelope, and something shocking happens to each of them which completely change thier lives. I can't wait until I read the fourth and final book Splendor!

So far, I think my favorite characters are either of the Holland sisters (Elizabeth because she tries to be good to all and puts her family first and Diana because she is a free-spirit is is, above all else, true to herself), and Teddy Cutting because he is the only true gentleman in the novel that has been described so far.

I really enjoy Godberson's imagery of places, dresses, and situations. I find it so fascinating and interesting that I just can't stop reading until the book is completely finished. I would definitely recommend this book! :DD
