The Force of Such Beauty by Barbara Bourland
3.0
Unfortunately - sometimes my experience reading a book is impacted by my expectations going in. I had seen some amazing reviews for The Force of Such Beauty before I started and think I came in with expectations too high.
This is the story of Caroline - a South African athlete who falls in love and marries the prince of a small country - and then learns being a princess isn’t at all what she thought it would be. It was a compelling read and definitely interesting to think about the parallels between the story and real life figures. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t go in with such high expectations.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance reading copy.
