Rumors, by Anna Godbersen, is the sequel to The Luxe, and, like the first book, it is set in the year 1899. This second book in the series continues the story of Diana and Elizabeth Holland, two young women who are part of the elite social set of turn-of-the-century New York City. I liked this book just fine -- until the ending, that is, which made me sad and angry. There is a third book, Envy, due out next month, but right now I don't think I'll bother to pick it up because I was so disappointed with the events in Rumors.
