The characters have all shown considerable growth over the course of the series, culminating in Splendor, as the characters truly become adults. Unfortunately, as with Envy, Splendor was spoiled for me (when will I learn?!) but luckily, there were still enough twists and turns left for me to discover. Like the other Luxe books, it’s a light read, but one that is surprisingly thought provoking, especially due to the ending. The conclusion to the Luxe quartet is certainly dramatic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As society watches what will become of the city’s oldest families and newest fortunes, one question remains: Will its stars fade away or will they shine ever brighter? In the dramatic conclusion to the bestselling Luxe series, New York’s most dazzling socialites chase dreams, cling to promises, and tempt fate. Her husband, Henry, bravely went to war, only to discover that his father’s rule extends well beyond New York’s shores and that fighting for love may prove a losing battle.

Penelope Schoonmaker is finally Manhattan royalty – but when a real prince visits the city, she covets a title that comes with a crown. But when a surprising clue about their father’s death comes to light, the Holland girls wonder at what cost a life of splendor comes.Ĭarolina Broad, society’s newest darling, fans a flame from her past, oblivious to how it might burn her future.

As spring turns into summer, Elizabeth relishes her new roles as a young wife, while her sister, Diana, searches for adventure abroad.
