Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen
4.0
Bright Young Things was a very entertaining historical fiction!
I loved following the three girls, and especially found it really interesting when their lives intertwined.
Cordelia was my favorite character. I liked how she was really outgoing and fun, but yet was still a smart girl. Astrid and Letty were also great characters, but I didn't find myself rooting for them as much as Cordelia.
The story is really intense, and there's more to it than meets the eye. I liked that about it especially. The crime aspects made the story dangerous and really fun to read.
Charlie and Astrid are so cute, and at some parts I wanted to kick Charlie because of the way he acted. Cordelia and Thom were so amazing together, and I hope in the next book things get cleared up and there was just a misunderstanding... Letty's love interests weren't as good as the others, but I'm hoping she'll have better luck with them in the second book as well.
Overall, for being out of my genre, this was a fantastic book to read. After reading the historical fantasy book, Darker Still, I found myself wanting to read more books set back in history. What a better time than the roaring twenties during Prohibition?! Very satisfying to read and very excited to read the second book in the Bright Young Things series!!
