Envy
Envy
A Luxe Novel
By: Anna Godbersen
The problem with reviewing a series in order is that you may not be as far along as I am, and I could potentially give away something that happens in a book you haven't read yet. That being said, I will try my best to give you the rundown without giving too much away.
- Diana - will find out if her love for Henry is truly justified and true, or if she's just another one of his dalliances
- Elizabeth - is still grieving, but does make an effort in society. Honestly, I though she would be a little more duplicitous in her dealings with Penelope, and for that, I was a little disappointed, but I still loved the book anyways!
- Lina - will either make it or fail in society. This book is the topping on the cake for her (no matter what you really think about her).
- Penelope - oh me oh my is this girl a piece of work. Her scheming seems to pay off, but Henry throws things in her direction that she just doesn't see coming - which I thoroughly enjoyed. (I especially liked it when she wanted to throw things but didn't as she wasn't at home and she didn't want the help to talk!)
- Henry - he still needs to grow up and get over himself, which he kind of does at the end. I realize he isn't left a whole lot of choices, but I still feel like he took the easy way out. (Not that what he's going to do is easy, but he's not fixing the problem, just leaving it)
There are others who I'm sure you'd like to know about, but this is about all I can tell you without giving anything from Rumors away. Hopefully you've finished The Luxe so you at least have an idea as to what I'm talking about. Besides, after you've read the prologue to these books you have a good idea as to what happens to whom.
Notes on the Cover:
Right now my brain isn't working and I can't recall who would have been wearing the dress that's on this cover. I think the girl is Elizabeth, but it could also be Diana. It's definitely not Lina or Penelope though! Leave me a line and let me know who you think it is! And yes, I love this cover also!
