Finished Rules of Attraction
Started The Luxe by Anna Godberson
Sentences of the week!
1. "But you seem to be the young lady most in demand for waltzes tonight." - The Luxe
2. But she kept smiling, of course. It was her habit. - The Luxe
3. This was not the heart-stopping touch that she had been wating for all evening, and it didn't help especially that his style of kissing was akin to mashing one face against another. -The Luxe
All of my sentences this week are from the book I am currently reading, The Luxe. In the first sentence Elizabeth's mother has taken her away from her friends at the ball to dance with all the men who are asking for her. I love how she used the word waltzes because that is not a common word these days and it brings the image of a true ball back in the 1800's to your mind when girls wore the biggest dress they could find. Elizabeth is the most eligible lady of the evening, and many of the men are asking for her. She finds it a little overwhelming. This leads to the second sentence, which is about her feelings toward one of the men she had to dance with. She was not enjoying herself at all, and the man was quite homely and disrespectful. But because Elizabeth was tought such good manners, she smiled and acted as if she was having fun with him. Hiding how she really felt during the dance. The next sentence is about Elizabeth's attention seeking sister, Diana. She was at the same ball as her sister but instead of being the person her sister was with fake smiles and careful manners, she was more of the trouble child. She gave a not to the most attractive man she could find there and told him to meet her in one of the rooms that is private. There she seduced him, but as the sentence demonstrates did not feel a thing between the two of them.
