A review by elliemcc11
Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
3.0
This is a Young Adult novel, the first in a series I believe. I read it as a standalone novel and it seemed to work fine as that.
I got it as a freebie on Kindle and was attracted to the historical time period (1920s) and the fact the story was mainly set in New York. I am also a big fan of the TV show Boardwalk Empire and mention in the story blurb of Prohibition and drink smuggling, which the show also covers, made me see some similarities and made me even more interested.
The characters were interesting and quite sassy, and generally believable and overall I thought it was an interesting, not too complicated read, covering an interesting time in history.
