My first book of the year and a great start

1.5 as it wasn't completely horribly written, but it wasn't great either. It's a nah for me. Can't do Anne justice in that page count. It was very surface level and could've been so much more. It was hard to understand why certain people were acting the way they were, like what was the source. And the audio narrator was all wrong.

I really enjoyed this book! As much as I’m not sure how much of it is historically accurate, I thought it was well written and really brought out the emotional side of Anne Boleyn. I will definitely be checking out the other books by this author!
