An Inconvenient Wife

By Karen E. Olson

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

…really, this would be like a 3.8. I liked it more than the other 3.5s on my list but less than 4 star books. Idk what to do with that… 

This is a modern spin on 16th Century English monarch Henry VIII, and his 6 wives. 

I picked up this book because (1) I’m trying to read books about wives and weddings this month and (2) I LOVE 15-16th Century English history. 

I have read SO MANY books about Henry VIII, the Plantagenets and the Tudors, the War of Roses, etc.. 

This book was really fun.

If you are not familiar with Henry VIII or all of his wives, some of the nuance of the story may be lost on you. I think it would be entertaining, but the cast of characters may get hard to follow unless you have a flow chart or a background in history. 

The ending was so great. Slightly different than what I expected based on history but great nonetheless. 

Read if: you are looking for a mystery, or if you love the Tudors.
