I was grumpy when this book got chosen for YA book club. It sounded boring and like who even cares about the French revolution?

UHHH WELL

I do? At least when it's in Jennifer Donnelly's hands. It took a little while for me to get into this book (partly because I was grumpy about having to read it...) but I'm really glad I picked it up. It's very well-done.
