Not sure where to start! The story was okay, but very well covered in books and movies (think The Other Boleyn Girl), so it was dull and familiar at points. Here writing style was rough, using the word "said/says" dozens of times per page of conversation (tempted to send her a thesaurus)!
I never felt like I cared enough about the characters, but did finish the book.
