Summary

Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen, author of the bestselling Luxe series, introduced the girls of 1929, girls with big dreams and big secrets in the big city of Manhattan during the Jazz Age. Each girl had a different fate. One would marry. One would find fame. And one would die.

Lucky Ones, the thrilling conclusion to the glamorous Bright Young Things series, reveals the destinies of Broadway baby Letty Larkspur, bootlegger's daughter Cordelia Grey, and flapper Astrid Donal.

Letty's dream of fame is within her reach. Cordelia is the midst of a whirlwind romance with celebrity pilot Max Darby. Socialite Astrid is a new bride. But secrets and scandals could destroy their happiness as the last summer of the 1920s reaches its peak.

Horn Book Review

Godberson concludes her entertaining escapist series set amid the parties and bootlegging of Prohibition-era New York with her three heroines continuing down their different paths. The furious pace of events and crises leaves no time for reflection, and, consequently, Astrid, Letty, and Cordelia remain shallow and never seem ethically committed to anything more permanent than the season's taste in hemlines.
