A review by literarykate616
Beautiful Days, by Anna Godbersen

5.0

I love this series so much but I've been torn about writing a review for it since it's the second in a series. If you haven't read Bright Young Things already then you should probably go find a copy before reading this review. Sometimes it's very hard to avoid spoilers but I'm going to try my best. All you need to know is that Cordelia and Letty are surrounded by the glitz and glamor of Manhattan and are finally starting to find their places in society. Astrid is still very much the drama queen and she and Cordelia's newly discovered brother, Charlie, have their problems. Like with all of her novels, Godbersen has the ability to make the reader feel as if he or she has stepped into the time period. The historical details are rich and the characters come alive and tear at your heartstrings. Ever since finishing Beautiful Days, which concluded with tons of drama and left me with questions, I am willing The Lucky Ones to magically appear at my door. I highly recommend all of Godbersen's books to anyone who loves history and drama in the style of Gossip Girl.
