Mimi Matthews! A favorite. This is a Beauty and Beast retelling, with a war hero coming out of the Crimean War and giving us a glimpse of that disaster, while the heroine's struggle is against her gilded cage and social anxiety.

New author obsession. The yearning. I think the big twist could have been done a bit earlier but overall really enjoyed, especially the meta stuff re Victorian sensational novels
