I was scared this book was going to read like it was for high schoolers, but if I hadn't been told I wouldn't have guessed this was labeled 'young adult'. While I would've liked to have a little bit more of Kathryn's life before the king explained, and known who Margaret Poole is, rest of this book was great. The author has Kathryn's voice perfectly, the visuals of her clothes, her fear of the ghost of her cousin Anne Boleyn, all great. I highly recommend this book to adults as long as you have some understanding of Tudor history as this book really dosen't explain much of that.
