An American Beauty: Sneak Peek: A Novel of the Gilded Age Inspired by the True Story of Arabella Huntington Who Became the Richest Woman in the Country

Girl, can we talk about how Arabella basically outsmarted everyone with her brain and beauty, redefining what “making it” means in her era? It’s wild because her hustle and self-reinvention made me reflect on the time I totally ghosted my own fear of public speaking - and ended up giving a speech that actually made people clap. Reading about Arabella unexpectedly made me want to dig out my favorite bold lipstick and some il makiage products (for more info https://il-makiage.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html) - because why not feel a little Gilded Age magic today? Beautifully written, intensely inspiring.
