Lev Raphael ❤️ loved this book because...

This is the funniest and darkest satire of the TikTok/Instagram world of influencers I have read anywhere--and it's a mystery to boot! I read it twice and will read it again in the future when I want to laugh.

Rosedale In Love

By Lev Raphael,

Book cover of Rosedale In Love

What is my book about?

In the glittering world of money-mad 1905 New York City, Jewish financier Simon Rosedale plans to force his way into high society through marriage and has his eye on Lily Bart. One of the most beautiful women in the city, Lily is a down-at-heels aristocrat plagued by gossip and might be vulnerable to his proposal. With his money and her style and connections, he can rise to the top—but will she lower herself to marry a Jew? Could such a marriage heal Rosedale's secret shame, and will Florence Goodhart, the cousin who adores Rosedale, help or hinder his plans? Written in a period voice, Rosedale in Love audaciously revisions Edith Wharton's beloved classic The House of Mirth, offering readers a timeless American story of greed, envy, scandal, love and revenge.
