My Contrary Mary by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows
4.0

This was my first book by the trio and it will definitely not be my last. I loved the re-writing of history along with the witty narration.
I was fairly familiar with Mary Queen of Scot's from the Reign TV and this Mary seemed very similar. I loved the addition of a queer relationship among her ladies.
Francis was the most annoying in the story, his character arc was my least favorite and there was a part about 75% in where I was bored. It did rebound and I did really enjoy the story.
The narrator and Ari both made the story for me. The witty antidotes and side comments were hilarious and Ari's premonitions were the best. I am so excited to see what Mary is next (and to go read the Jane's)
