Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews

3.0

Mimi Matthews is a great writer. I never dislike anything she writes, but this one was a hit lackluster. I appreciated the main character dealing with depression and felt like the topic was handled fairly well, but Mark and Beryl just didn’t have enough time to really establish any relationship outside of it. Their romance was mostly based on past events and guarded feelings, which we really didn’t get much context for. And if I’m being honest, the whole “brother’s betrothed” thing, regardless of the feelings or lack of feeling involved, felt icky to me. I really liked Mark… he’s great and I kinda wish he and Beryl had gotten more page time.
