lindsey_werner 's review for:
The Blue Castle
by L.M. Montgomery
Oh my. What a read. A novel published in 1926 that still feels relevant and poignant to today. I wish I could say that the stigma of unmarried women is no longer a micro-aggression, but it is. And the pressures (both cultural and otherwise) to stay loyal to family that is not loyal in return is a timeless condition for many as they enter adulthood. You simply can't help but love Valancy and root for her throughout the novel. This story will be beloved for anyone who wants to see a main character grow, as well as any romance reader (especially those who love the marriage of convenience trope). I found it especially similar to Mimi Matthews' [b:The Belle of Belgrave Square|59426171|The Belle of Belgrave Square (Belles of London, #2)|Mimi Matthews|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1644886640l/59426171._SX50_.jpg|93603356]. Ultimately I loved how this story had all the feels of a classic while still being plot driven, character focused, and unputdownable!
