I think this might be my last First Impression Friday (at least in this style), so I think I'll break the rules. I'm cheating here because technically speaking, I've already read The Luxe. But it's been such a long time that I can't even remember whether or not I ever finished it. I do know the following:
I remember: a socialite being murdered or dying, an engagement, a maid who was really a friend (scandalous!), and some jealousy. The keywords sound about right for the tone of the book, but tell us very little about the plot. If we put them all together... maybe the plot goes a little something like this? A socialite gets engaged to another rich person, one of her only true friends happens to be her attendant, in whom she confides her doubts and worries, some other society girl gets jealous of the match (and maybe finds out about the doubts?), and offs our leading lady. If you've read The Luxe, comment below and let me know how I did on my guesswork! If not, go ahead and take a crack at your own plot summary!
