Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
3.0
I LOVED the TV series. Goodwin and co masterfully bring to life the spirit of the Victorian age and Jenna Coleman (who I adore) is amazing as the queen.
The book...it was fine. But it was mostly dialogue and scenes right from the show. And...the extra scenes. Well, some I could've done without. Victoria's crush on Melbourne and his kindness toward her was charming and a little heartrending in the TV show, but in the book it came off...kinda creepy. Age wise (slight trigger here and in the book for creepy guys liking young (young!) women)
