“I really can't decide whether I want to give this 3 or 4 stars.....maybe 3.5. I was really excited to read this book because I love all of Godberson's work and especiallyvlove the setting of the jazz age. I was a little disappointed. The relationship between Letty and Astrid was almost laughable. We are simply told that this annoying and shy girl (completely opposite from Astrid) suddenly becomes "best friends" with an outgoing and sort of snobbish rich girl. Letty could have still been included in the book without relation to Cordelia and Astrid like in the first book because Cordelia and Astrid's story lines were interesting enough without her and most of the time you just wonder why she's even there. I think she might have been a lot less annoying if her storyline was not connected to the other two girls'. Basically, all Letty does is sit around and mope and has such oh so big dreams of becoming a real star. Her character could have been much more developed and well written as to make her at least a little bit likable and so the reader didn't have to spend a third of the book listening to her whine and whine and whine. Personally, I was wishing from the middle of the first book In This series that she would be written out. Despite this, there is only one annoying character out of the bunch and with the rich descriptions, gorgeous writing, and juicy stories, how could I resist reading the next one? Enjoy! ;)”
