Envy by Anna Godbersen

Envy (Luxe, #3)

by Anna Godbersen

Two months have passed since the dramatic homecoming of Elizabeth Holland - Manhattan society eagerly awaits her return. But Elizabeth won't rejoin her sister Diana's side. The whispers are beginning - is all as it seems behind closed doors?

Uptown, Henry and Penelope Schoonmaker are the city's most celebrated couple. But despite the glittering diamond she wears, the newlyweds share little more than scorn for each other.

Manhattan's most envied residents appear to have everything they desire: wealth, beauty, happiness.

However, in a city where appearance is everything, sometimes the most practiced smiles hide the most scandalous secrets. . . .

I still don't believe Will is dead. That was just too shocking for me and I can't believe that Elizabeth is letting her mother guilt her into doing things for the sake of their reputation. I'm really disappointed that my favorite storyline doesn't get any better.

Furthermore, I just get even more frustrated with the Diana/Henry pairing. It's really agonizing to read about.

I hated that most of this book was not set in Manhattan but I guess I can forgive that. I was curious to see how people did the beach back then.

I feel like I was annoyed the whole time I was reading this book, but I did read it straight through. I gave it a three but it's probably a 2.5. I just want closure so I will read the last one.
