Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Pretty girls in pretty dresses, partying until dawn.

Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles and dangerous intentions.

White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous hookups.

This is Manhattan, 1899.

Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattan's social scene. Or so it appears. When the girls discover their status among New York City's 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 Elizabeth's and Diana's 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 city's 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 Manhattan's most celebrated daughter disappear...

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.

Synopsis:

Godbersen's sensational bestseller is the first title of an exciting trilogy. Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattan's social scene in 1899, but are soon caught up in a whirlwind of scandal when a family secret threatens their position.

This is a wonderful book. It starts with the funeral of Elizabeth Holland, and then picks up in her life before she died. It goes through all the events, and there are some you just never saw coming. This book has wonderful suspence and great turns. A must read for all teenagers and everyone else above that age!
