Publisher Description
The year is 1929. New York is ruled by the Bright Young Things: flappers and socialites seeking thrills and chasing dreams in the anything-goes era of the Roaring Twenties.
Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star. . . .
Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined—and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for . . . and someone will.
The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.
Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall—together and apart. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe comes an epic new series set in the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age.

Loved it!!!
Great book! If u luv Anna godbersen's luxe series, you'll luv BYT's! Can't wait for part 2.
Love!
I loved this book! I'm a fan of historical fiction and I thought this book was quite entertaining and had a great plot twist. Even though we are decades apart, I could really relate to the characters and almost felt like they were people I knew. Best book I've read in awhile and I'm excited to finish this series and also read The Luxe novels.
1920's? I don't think so.
This book feels far to much like the 2000s reading it It almost seems like the writer didn't studdy the 20's at all before putting togeter this book. It's an ok read, but not realistic. I fear teenagers will read this and think the 20's were really like this.
