Not as good as book one, it felt like there wasn't actually that much that had happened in some of the plots. it also just feels like nothing can be solved and ugh everything is going wrong!!! This better en well with all the stress I'm going through trying to come to terms with the neverending downward spiral of everyone's happiness in this book besides Penelope who seem to be the only narrative that gets her own way!

*2.5* No! Just No! Why disappoint me like that? Huh?

If I could, I would give this 3.5 stars.
It was pretty good. I'm just getting sick of seeing the antagonist prevail over and over and the protagonist keep failing and failing.

This second book in the Luxe series really is a drag. I went from just not caring about any of the characters to actively disliking most of them and complete apathy towards the rest. Diana is the only exception, and even she is a flat, uninteresting, and spoiled.
Unfortunately, having gone this far, I will finish the series, but I would advise against picking this one up.

Couldn't finish it...probably because it's meant for pre-teens.

Rumors is the sequel to The Luxe, and picks up where that book left off. Gossip about the death of Elizabeth is all over NYC society and the papers, and her family and friends are trying to pick up the pieces and move on. Her sister Diana has to decide what she will do - marry someone her mother approves, or follow her heart? How will the sisters's rival Penelope use her involvement in Elizabeth's disappearance to her advantage? And what about all these attractive young men involved in the lives of these girls?
Like The Luxe, this is another fast-read YA novel. The historical aspects about clothese and manners and NYC add to the deliciousness that is the soapy antics of the characters. This in't a book I'd bother buying, but it's a fun read if you can borrow it from the library.

Ah, my guilty pleasure returns with a good as the first one, sequel with twists and turns and romance and humor. They are generally just fun reads!

I continue to enjoy this series, although I didn't like this book quite as much as the first. I would prefer less emphasis on Lina. Also, there seem to be some pretty wild coincidences upon which the author relies to move the plot along. Still, it kept my attention and I look forward to reading the next one.

Just like the first. This is reality TV in book form, addicting yet awful. Diana and Elizabeth are the only sympathetic ones. Good writing however that plays its audience like a fiddle.
