Summary
Eloise Bridgerton has decided and declared to all she is on the shelf.
Rumor has it that she rejected every other suitor in town, including gentlemen of high rank, and the new Lady Whistledown, whoever they are, might have something to say about it. And now that her dearest friend Pen can't protect her by leaving her out of the column, this social season she may take a top spot in the gossip mongler's sharp remarks. If one counts that the Queen is going through something, after her dearest friend departed for Africa, Eloise might be on the shelf, but still hanging over the edge. Will she finally come to know what it means to be a spinster and how one chooses what seems an impossible life? But how to choose love when love doesn't choose you back?
Just like in her book, Eloise has no option but to flee. But not to marry a half-known gentleman. Maybe to be tangled up in something grander than she ever imagined? She doesn't know. But she has to leave the nest if she wants to fly.
