Today Chelsey and Sara discuss The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery. This classic Cinderella story follows Valancy Stirling as she receives life-changing news that shakes up her whole world and leads her to happiness. Her coming-of-age story includes a few highly discussable plot points that we couldn\\u2019t help but spoil, so if you haven\\u2019t read the book, scroll down to get a timestamp to avoid spoilers. As always, we\\u2019re recommending contemporary pairings for our classic, including a whip-smart rom-com and a dreamy fantasy novel.\\xa0
