Miles Halter, sedici anni, colto e introverso, comincia a frequentare un'esclusiva prep school dell'Alabama. Qui lega subito con Chip, povero e brillantissimo, ammesso alla scuola grazie a una borsa di studio, e con Alaska Young, divertente, sexy, attraente, avventurosa studentessa di cui tutti sono innamorati. Insieme bevono, fumano, stanno svegli la notte e inventano scherzi brillanti e complicati. Ma Miles non ci mette molto a capire che Alaska è infelice, e quando lei muore schiantandosi in auto vuole sapere perché. È stato davvero un incidente? O Alaska ha cercato la morte?

Gossip Girl meets the Gilded Age in this delicious and compelling novel, the second in the New York Times bestselling series from author Anna Godbersen. As old friends become rivals, Manhattan’s most dazzling socialites find their futures threatened by whispers from the past. In this delicious sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Luxe, nothing is more dangerous than a scandal...or more precious than a secret. True love. False friends. Scandalous gossip. This is Manhattan, 1899. After bidding good-bye to New York’s brightest star, Elizabeth Holland, rumors continue to fly about her untimely demise. All eyes are on those closest to the dearly departed: her mischievous sister, Diana, now the family’s only hope for redemption; New York’s most notorious cad, Henry Schoonmaker, the flame Elizabeth never extinguished; the seductive Penelope Hayes, poised to claim all that her best friend left behind—including Henry; even Elizabeth’s scheming former maid, Lina Broud, who discovers that while money matters and breeding counts, gossip is the new currency. “Mystery, romance, jealousy, betrayal, humor, and gorgeous, historically accurate details. I couldn’t put The Luxe down!” —Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Gossip Girl series
