The Force of Such Beauty
by Barbara Bourland
3.5 stars
This book was an easy read and somewhat interesting, but it wasn't GREAT literature which is okay. It will be good to read by the beach or the pool this summer.
There are many similarities to Monaco, which made it feel not original to me. I felt like I was reading someone's personal story that was fictionalized. It was a sad, sad book full of back-biting, murder, manipulation, and just ugliness in a royal family in a small, but wealthy monarchy.
I feel that some editing could have been done and a deeper dive into some of the main characters would have been helpful. The ending was not what I expected at all.
LUKEWARM RECOMMEND
