| I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I wished I could reach through the screen of my Kindle and rewrite the ending. The author did a fantastic job of delving into the rarified world of British monarchy and exposing the foibles of people who fasci ...more | |

| I considered recommending this book to my book club, but ultimately decided against it. The writing is fun and easy-going, but the plot's a little too scattershot to be memorable. If you're looking for a light, easy read that won't make you think too ...more | |
