I did enjoy it overall and it made me want to learn more about Victoria. I wish I would have read it before my trip to London! Thanks for visiting, Joy!

It should be interesting to see how it is depicted in the show this January! Yes, Victoria's immaturity was annoying at times, but I had to remind myself she was young and very sheltered. I liked her overall though! Thanks for visiting, Christina!

The best thing about fiction based on true events is how easily we could relate and empathize with the characters and how the story becomes broader than what was in the book. So even though I sense your frustration, I think this is a great way to study the life of the sitting queen.

I wasn't as frustrated about Albert's missing presence because both movies I've seen focus on their relationship and this book spent more time on Victoria's relationship with her mother and her prime minister. I did get frustrated with Victoria's immaturity but also understood that this was partly due to how sheltered she was.
