Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. WOW spotlights forthcoming titles that we absolutely can't wait to read.
Vixen by Jillian Larkin
Summary: Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.
Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?
Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . .
Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .
From debut author Jillian Larkin, VIXEN is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic new series set in the Roaring Twenties . . . when anything goes.

I think I will really like this too. It sounds fantastic and reminds me of Anna Godberson's books.
I just finished reading this and it is FANTASTIC! Very similar to the Luxe series and Bright Young Things.
First time I've seen this book! Sounds great! Thanks for posting about it.
Thanks for sharing this WoW pick. This is the first I've heard of Vixen. Sounds like a fun new series!

Just got the ARC for this! It looks awesome :-)
This book sounds so amazing. I can't wait until it comes out.
I have the ARC but haven't gotten to read it yet, it does look very good!
This one sounds like it would be a good choice for my Gossip Girl and Luxe lovers. I'll have to add it to my list for them. My WoW is Across the Universe by Beth Revis. Happy reading while you wait!
They were giving out copies of this one on Barnes and Noble for a First Look a few weeks ago. I have my copy but I haven't read it yet. Thanks for informing us though. :)
Looks SO good! Love the 1920s era :) I will definitely be adding this to my list!
