Alright, so where to start? When it comes to writing style, I'd definitely give this story a 4.5 - despite there being multiple point of views, and the unfamiliar time style, the author paints a colorful picture of New York's rich and famous, right down to the dresses and old-fashioned slang. 
 I couldn't really attach myself to any of the characters, however. I felt a little pity for Lina, a little maid in a world of sharks, and Will, for falling in love with a rich girl (because we all know what trouble they are). Elizabeth, though the author tries to portray her in a sensitive light as a girl torn between duty and love, still comes off to me as fickle and, at many points in the book, irritatingly weak. 
 Of course, this can be justified, as the author does write exactly what would have happened in that time period. So, I guess I liked it - I just didn't like the characters or their morals.
