Against all odds, the German Charlotte is chosen as the bride for King George of England. She must navigate court politics, adapting to a new culture, and the secrets of her new husband.
The good: I liked this book a lot, it was beautiful to read. Very simply written, it was a breeze to get through. I loved its acceptance of mental health and the characters. The dialogue between Charlotte and George was very good. We also got a deeper look into their characters than in the show.
The meh: I don't have anything bad to say about the book, but it wasn't a high piece of literature, and that's why I didn't give it four stars. It was nice, but didn't blow my mind or anything.
The verdict: You will like this if you enjoy: historical fiction, romance, mental health rep, acceptance of mental health issues, and court politics.
