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.

"Ok everyone I just finsehed this nice book about in the 1920s which is historical fiction. It was so good but at first it was kind of hard during the first chapters but after all it was so good. Letty & Cordelia are best friends & they escaped thier small Midwestern town in NYC. In this B.Y.T novel/series is about money, glammor, fame, & murder. Now if you have read the first one like me (for the first time), then you shounld read the sec book in the B.Y.T series. Now I think the best part of this book is when Cordelia was leaving to go take a train to Chicago (I mean to Ohio) with Astrid. But Ms. Anna Godbersen did amazing job on her first Bight Young Things novel."
