Hi Jillian!
I love The Great Gatsby too! It's what made me curious about Vixen, actually. I just got the book a few days ago and started reading it over the weekend, so I'm excited about our upcoming discussions. It's always exciting to be able to ask the author questions about the stories they wrote and get more backstory, meaning, etc. ![]()

I am very interested in reading your book as my mom was a "flapper". Even though I am a man I look forward to the excitement of this era reading your book.
I enjoyed reading about your background and thanks for sharing.

Hi Jillian,
Thank you for allowing us this chance to read your novel. I've started the book and I must admit I find the characters wonderful. I've never had any exposure to the 'flappers' and I'm looking forward to discussing this terrific novel with you.

Thanks for stopping by to tell us some info about your book. I love to read historical YA books, there are not that many out there currently. I haven't started the book yet but I hope to soon, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing your novel! This is my first book set in the Flapper era since reading the Great Gatsby in high school (quite a long time ago!). I am halfway through and enjoying it very much!

Your introduction will definitely serve as an inspiration to many women. I'm glad to have read it myself. This is my 1st time reading a book set in the 20's too and I'm really excited to read and discuss it.

Jillian -
I finished the book just two days after picking it up. Had the issue of not able to put it down once I picked it up. You certainly have a knack for carrying the reader thru the stages as the characters develop. Great gift
when is your next 'series' in the novel coming out????
Excited to start the dialogue

Hello Jillian! I thank you very much for including me in this ARC review! I am enjoying your book thoroughly! This is one of my favorite era's in American history! I can't wait to finish, although I am also, trying to savor the book as well =-)
I hope that I can figure out how this ARC reviewing work here on B&N.com, as this is my first time.
