I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon

3.0

I understand the author's use of the backwards timeline as it's the only way to keep the tension as the stories of Anastasia and Anna Anderson are fairly well known (and easy to research if someone doesn't know). It still felt gimmicky and it also meant that both timelines converge in tragedy which made the end of the book pretty depressing.
