Bright Young Things: Beautiful Days

Bright Young Things: Beautiful Days by Anna Godbersen
The second novel in a different flapper novel than The Flappers series set primarily in the Hampton's during the summer of 1929. The three girls who the story revolves around are Astrid, Letty, and Cordelia; a high society flapper, a wannabe singer, and a bootlegger's daughter turned speakeasy manager. Of course the roles each girl plays is similar to those of the characters in The Flappers series but the girls are less brash and harsh on the page. Even though the author switches characters every chapter the transition isn't jarring and if the chapter does end in a cliff hanger for one character the next one picks up at the same point from a slightly different point of view. While The Flappers has much faster and dramatic plot the Bright Young Things series is more reader friendly over all. Both books certainly leave the reader wanting more even if they have similar characters.
