A cute retelling of the life of Henry VIII with very little accuracy to the real life person but enough that it was recognizable. Cleaves is one of the many ex girlfriends of Henry the "King" of the school. When he finds himself questioning his loyalty to his current girlfriend he spirals into pranks and jealousy dragging Cleaves along for the ride. Information comes to light that makes Cleave's friend Parker think that the doom of Henry's girlfriends might not be so coincidental.
The story lost me a bit because it had random time jumps that were unexpected and confused me as a reader. It was written well but it was slow at first. When the action did start to happen it happened all at once and then slowed down again. The ending especially was so much action crammed in to the end that I had a hard time following it. Overall a cute story I would recommend to teens who like historical fiction but want something a little different.
