This book was fast-paced, over dramatic, and just a lot of fun to read. I finished it in 2 days, and it was definitely the mind candy I needed (plus I'm a huge fan of the Great Gatsby so I loved the era and setting of this novel).
While the characters weren't exactly the most believable, they did have relatable traits that were just blown out of proportion (such as Loraine's extreme jealous behavior) and were entertaining to read about. The writing of the novel itself was solid, with quality imagery that wasn't too long-winded but still gave enough detail for the reader to get a clear picture.
My main complaint about this book would be that the plot was extremely predictable. I'm not very good at predicting endings and I guessed almost exactly what happened at the end by the first quarter of the book. As to it's comparison with the Luxe series, I cannot speak to that as I have never read Luxe, but I will be sure to seek it out in the future to make a better determination (and because I liked this book so much so it seems like my style).
