amylandranch 's review for:
Vixen
by Jillian Larkin
My friend gave me this book, an advanced reader copy. It is set in the 20's during Prohibition. The main character, Gloria, is everyone's sweetheart. She is engaged to a handsome, rich man and seems to have it all. She attends her first speakeasy and is enthralled by the flapper world and especially a young musician who happens to be of another race.
Her cousin Clara comes to 'help' her with her wedding but is really sent in exhile from her former flapper life in New York. And her best friend Lorraine is an odd mixture of jealousy and desperation. I had a hard time getting into it but once the plot was firmly set I was intrigued by the characters and enjoyed learning about Prohibition and the slang used.
I would recommend this book for the high school level.
