I read this ages ago from the library but I wouldent mine re-reading as I never got to the sequels
Flappers have always intrigued me but Vixen made me even more interested. I wasn't sure what to expect from this book besides a pretty cover but the story was really good. I found it really cool being back in time to 1923 where things are completely different from now. Whites were rich and snobby and blacks were poor. I liked the different character views for each chapter and loved Gloria. I came to dislike Lorraine a lot. She was just a huge cry baby that wanted attention. The book left me wanting to know more about the gangsters and what was going to happen with Jerome. I'm hoping for a happy ending with him and Gloria and Clara and Marcus.
While not the best 1920s story, it's clear that the author knows this time period enough to make it still entertaining.
Vixen is an average summer read. If you have a tolerance for bratty characters-- go ahead and read Vixen. If you want something better on a deeper level-- read The Luxe series. On that note, Vixen was startlingly similar to the first Luxe novel, but for someone who absolutely loves that series, it works.
One of my pet peeves is books set in a city that get the geography wrong. The Green Mill is not at all close to Michigan Ave, and Hyde Park does not have Chinatown eateries.
It was still a fun read and an easy little book for an afternoon on winter break.

I read this book as part of Barnes & Noble's First Look program. It will be officially released December 14, 2010. If you have any interest in the 1920s then this book is right up your alley. This book would probably interest people who have read Anna Godbersen's Luxe series or have read her latest novel Bright Young Things (which is also set in the 1920s).
I love the time period, I love the contraversial stories (there is mentions of miscarriages and interracial relationships in the 20s) I'm going to start the second one of these with like a song in my heart! This series had a good start! Continuing with book two soon!
