The Bad Queen: Rules and Instructions for Marie-Antoinette by Carolyn Meyer
5.0
This book is marketed as a young adult novel, but don't let that stop you from reading it! As a child, I was in love with the Royal Diaries series, especially the book on Marie Antoinette, and I've looked for a book about her that would enchant me the same way.
This is that book.
I loved Carolyn Meyer's Royal Diaries books and read the Young Royals ones about the Tudors ones several times, but was somehow unaware she had written a book on Marie Antoinette. She does a wonderful job at making historical characters come to life. The Author's Note at the end is very worthwhile as well and shows how dedicated Meyer is at making her characters seem human. I was definitely teary-eyed at the end.
