The Lucky Ones: A Bright Young Things Novel
by Anna Godbersen
Ages 14+ 384 pages HarperCollins November 2012 Hardcover    

The Lucky Ones is the third installment of a four-book series that will make you wish you had been born in the Jazz Age. The young women here are awash in decadence of the era, and every page is splashed with drama, scandal, seduction and secrets.

Cordelia Grey is the girl of the moment, the It Girl, at the side of debonair celebrity pilot Max Darby. Femme fatale and silver screen up-and-comer Letty Larkspur has finally realized her big break but could see it all come tumbling down because of her fling with established actor Valentine O'Dell. Socialte Astrid Donal loves her husband but spends more time with one of his hired goons than she spends with him.

Romance, rebellion and raucous good times abound as an array of characters look for happiness amid the ruins of bad relationships and broken promises. This is a delightful dip into the pools of narcissism and infidelity and exactly the type of book to help you escape--if that's what you're looking to do--from your own workaday life.
