I have just been invited to a most secretive, but assuredly most elaborate, celebration in Tuxedo Park sponsored by one of Manhattan’s finest families. The ending was okay but leaves the reader a little sad but hopeful for the next installment. I liked how the sisters essentially end up in the same situation by the end of the book. I find it interesting how in the first book Elizabeth is more worried about their financial woes and in this one the roles were reversed. Diana is still my favorite character although she goes through some changes. With that said, the rest of the book is pretty good. I think the parts about Elizabeth were a little boring and her part in the book isn't as interesting as it could have been.
The only problem I had was that it started off a little slower than I would have liked. And I can go on and on.I enjoyed this book more than the first which is always good when reading a series. Lina is trying to move up the social totem pole. The Hollands are still trying to figure out their financial problems. Henry is dealing with his feelings for Diana and trying not to feel guilty for betraying Elizabeth. Penelope is up to her usual games chasing Henry and trying to get people to notice her and accept her as much as they did Elizabeth. It is a lot to keep up with but this it's easier in this book now that we are familiar with the characters and their personalities. There are more scandals, more drama, and more secrets. If you have not read the first book, it may get confusing. This is the second book in The Luxe series.
