If I like the first, I can always buy the series. :) <br /><br />Have you read the author's new book, Bright Young Things by chance? It's set in the Roaring Twenties (my favorite era!) and I'm thinking about buying it too.Caroline Tung Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668185436035686911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922517209932787954.post-72022961059231956242010-11-08T23:35:13.324+11:002010-11-08T23:35:13.324+11:00I didn't finish reading The Luxe, which is rar...I didn't finish reading The Luxe, which is rare for me. I agree that's it's hard to care about the characters and I don't think I was in the mood for the story when I read it. It might be a good Christmas read though.Alix https://www.blogger.com/profile/04684209302932310537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922517209932787954.post-69483794781898764452010-11-08T23:34:24.205+11:002010-11-08T23:34:24.205+11:00I totally agree with you on this one (although I p...I totally agree with you on this one (although I picked up one of the later books in the series. Reading out of order is something I pretty much always do, haha). It's a guilty pleasure, and it takes a while to get into but it's pretty enjoyable once you do.<br /><br />I imagined Henry as Henry Cavill, too!
