Immersive thriller that's a blend of Colleen Hoover's Verity meets What Ever Happened to Baby Jane twist at the end.

It's so weird knowing that the first few books only make up the first few episodes of a multi season show. Wish the show was more available.

Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser

informative slow-paced

2.0

It's incredibly infuriating when the author writes about the 35 year old Queen as if she were still a 15 year old clueless Dauphine. The whole goal of the book felt to lean into this narrative that Marie wasn't a Queen, but more of a Mother but neglected to mention all but one of her adopted children. Around the 50% mark this became a hate read as i had sunk too much time and had this book on my TBR for too long to DNF it entirely.

I do not know how to feel about this. You could see Calvin's ending coming from a mile off, but you couldn't see Grace's. Hilariously, I kept forgetting Grace's name while reading this book. I feel like it was fate. She doesn't seem like a Grace.
