The Flappers: Vixen by Jillian Larkin
Inkhouse, 2011. ISBN 9780552565042.
Every girl wants the flapper lifestyle. Gloria has it all, and is
living it up with her best friend, Lorraine. Gloria is engaged to
Sebastian Grey. Gloria's cousin, Clare has arrived to make sure the
high-society wedding goes to plan. Gloria loves to party, surely she
still has enough time to party before she has to walk down the
aisle. Lorraine is tired of living in Gloria's shadow and when her
envy spills over, nobody is safe.
I love the early 1900's and the twenties were a crazy time. Vixen
is intriguing and full of suspense. The minor characters all were of
some importance and had a role to play, leaving you wanting for more
after each page. The book is written from three points of
perspective, which may cause a little confusion but is more
interesting in the telling. The author uses the language of the
1920's, and it is captivating. It is different to not picture the
teens with laptops and cell phones and was a great book to change
that image. It's good read and those whom love the early 1900's will
love this book.
