Good Morning America From the New York Times bestselling team of Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White�??a novel of money and secrets set among the famous summer mansions of Newport, Rhode Island, spanning over a century from the Gilded Age to the present day.

Andie has high hopes for her latest project: the once glorious but gently crumbling Sprague Hall in Newport, Rhode Island, summer resort of America's gilded class�??famous for the lavish "summer cottages" of Vanderbilts and Belmonts. But Andie runs into trouble: the reclusive heiress who still lives in the mansion, Lucia "Lucky" Sprague, will only allow the show to go forward on two conditions: One, nobody speaks to her. Two, nobody touches the mansion's ruined boathouse. 1899: Ellen Daniels has been hired to give singing lessons to Miss Maybelle Sprague, a naive young Colorado mining heiress whose stepbrother John has poured their new money into buying a place among Newport's elite.

If you have experienced the magic of newport you'll enjoy the peek into Newport life through the ages in this book. I guessed the twist but it was still good and it was so very well woven. (

As with all of the 3 W collaborations, this was fairly predictable, but it's still a fun read. (And it was pretty clear who wrote which section this time around!) (

This was just okay. A decaying Newport mansion, the secrets of a rich family, and a modern day reality show all conspire to make up the contents of this book. For me, the book was a bit slow-paced, and it didn't really pick up until the last twenty-five pages or so. The book also mentions a Tiffany party, which apparently was real, and was attended by Jack and Jackie Kennedy.

If you are a hard-core Newport fan, you will enjoy this. Gilded Age mansion fans will also like it. (

Pandemic read. Made me look up pictures of the gala and earlier times in Newport. (

What a great read by the famous triple threat of writers, Williams, Willig and White! I've enjoyed their other combination novels but this one was made so well done in my opinion. You can tell a lot of research went into the lives and times of the Newport Society during the Golden Age. (
