The Set Up: Stella feels invisible in London society, and is sure her graying hair has doomed her to be a spinster. While at a holiday house party she encounters Teddy, an aspiring painter. He asks to paint her, and Stella knows nothing could be worse for her reputation but she finds herself wanting to post for him anyway.
If Mimi Matthews is going to write it, I’m going to read it. As always, this book felt authentic to the time thanks to MM’s attention to historical detail and accuracy.
This book would be a great one to pick up in December, since it starts with a holiday house party and moves into the spring. Teddy and Stella had such a lovely romance, and I especially loved how so many worlds collided in this book, with familiar faces from both the Parish Orphans and Belles of London series.
This series was my introduction to Mimi Matthews, and I’m sad to see it end, but I’m eagerly anticipating her new series.
