Victoria by Daisy Goodwin

3.0

I was excited to read this book because I enjoyed Goodwin's The American Heiress. It has been on my to read shelf since I heard about it and then I somehow managed to win a copy of it through a Goodreads giveaway. Since it is a fictional account of a young Queen Victoria much of the story is embellished or fabricated, but it is still certainly an entertaining one. Victoria is infuriating and childish for a good portion of the book. I seriously wanted to yell at her a few times for being so stubborn. However, I liked the Victoria of the second half of the book much better, especially after all the Lord Melbourne drama, so that made up for it. I do wish the book had been longer and included more of Victoria and Albert's relationship. If there is a sequel, I would most likely read it.
