4 Stars- I'll be picking this one up when it's out

Bright Young Things is the first in an epic four-book series about three teenage girls finding their way in the glittering metropolis of New York City and the glamorous mansions of Long Island. It’s 1929 and Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey have escaped their small Midwestern town to chase big dreams and even bigger secrets. In New York, they meet Astrid Donal, a flapper who has everything she could ever want, except for the one thing Letty and Cordelia have to offer—true friendship. Set in the dizzying summer before the market crash, against the vast lawns of the East End and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls will find romance, intrigue, and adventure.

The excerpt (1st seven chapters) for Bright Young Things completely had my attention and left me wanting more. I think this is going to the first in a great series, that is set in the 1920's New York. Anna introduces us to three unique girls, two of whom left their small town life behind to come to NY for two completely different reasons. I'm looking forward to seeing how their lives are going to be interwoven. So far there's been love, romance, heart ache, drama, adventure and a little bit of a twist. The setting and the era completely had me hooked and I'm looking forward to reading more about the roaring Twenties with all the glitz & glamor that came with it.
