If you love heartfelt historical romance and have not yet
discovered Mimi Matthews, you are in for a treat! She has quickly become a
favorite of mine.
I love the writing style of Mimi Matthews, and I wish I
loved Fair as a Star more than I do. Maybe part of my problem is that it is her
saddest book yet, and right now I’m looking to lose myself in a story that isn’t
quite so sad. Fair as a Star is very slight – definitely more of a novella than
a novel. I wish we’d had twice as many pages and more character development.
Fair as a Star might really strike a chord with someone who
suffers from depression. Like usual with Matthews, I’m sure the facts about life in the
Victorian times are true and meticulously researched. Recommended for fans of
historical romance issue books (it reminded me of books by Josi Kilpack) and fans
of Mimi Matthews.
I read an advance reader copy of Fair as a Star from
Netgalley. The Galesburg Public Library owns a number of novels by Mimi
Matthews. Fair as a Star comes out in July 2020.
