My Lady Jane
by Cynthia Hand
The comical, fantastical, romantical, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey. In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history—because sometimes history needs a little help.
At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren’t for Jane to worry about. Jane is about to become the Queen of England.

MY RATING:-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 +💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This book was plain hilarious just sooooo good literally sooo good you know its really hard to write a review about a book when you are still reeling with laughter that's right folks your dear blogger has lost her shit and is laughing like a madwomen(although I do laugh a lot like a madwomen but this made me even more mad) I seriously can't remember the last time I laughed this hard although you young folks need to keep a few things in mind before you go into this book A)Don't expect a history lesson it may start with a little history but then they are like well I so don't like the ending so let's throw that little parchment out the window because no sir that's so not what we liked and did I like it?HELL YES!!!
B)It doesn't contain much of angst or drama or anything like that so don't expect it either.
But this was exactly the type of read that I needed after reading so many heart breaking books and I truly tremendously and just so you know there was plot to this story just because it wasn't to the point history doesn't mean it didn't have a plot it did just enough to keep the reader engaged and the characters were so lovely and flawed and brilliant that I might actually cry of their sheer beautifulness but I can't since I'm already laughing like a mad woman this book was just so witty with sass and headstrong female characters and spoiled kings who didn't want to die before being kissed and people spending there days as steeds and quite literally I loved it.
So let me just introduce you to the beautiful shape shifting characters whom I love to no end:-
1)Jane:-she's quite literally the best representation of me I mean she prefers books over human beings and She could cut your head off(no she can't but she has feelings like that I'm pretty sure of it) if you touched one of her books and she's just so cute with her dealings with books I mean I'm pretty sure I don't have my nose stuck between a book during parties*include glaring from parents for lying* but whatever the point is she's the best person and I love her.
2)Gifford:-he's such a sweet pea being the second son of a lord he's considered quite useless but I love him he's constantly making poetry and just I can't explain it.
3)Edward:-he comes into the category of those precious boy kings who need to be protected at all costs even when he was being poisoned he was like well atleast the tarts were tasty and I was like come here boy let me hug you and listen he may be a spoiled brat king but he's my spoiled brat king and I'll have him no other way.
there were so many things in this book that I loved and I frankly can't tell you about all of it because that would ruin the fun of this book to you but let me just some it all up what I did like:-headstrong female characters who loved reading to no avail,badass female characters,some be headings (obviously I'll have it no other way),spoiled boy kings whom I don't know why I love so much,sweet pea second sons of high lord,sass,fun,light heartiness and can I just say every damn thing because I loved every part of it and wasn't bored even a single time.
So dear reader go pick this up and laugh until you choke because that book could certainly do that to you but you'll not die trust me on that the dear narrators of My Lady Jane won't let that happen.
And yeah don't miss the book quotes this time because they will make you laugh and make you want to read this book instantly which you should after I screeched my undying love for this book but if you need more consideration I'm happy to oblige.
BOOK QUOTES:-
“Dedication
For everyone who knows there was enough room for Leonardo DiCaprio on that door.
And for England. We’re really sorry for what we’re about to do to your history.”
“No horse jokes," he said."My lord, I apologize for the horse joke. If you put down the book---unharmed!---I will give you a carrot."He brandished the book at her. "Was that a horse joke?""Neigh.""Was that a horse joke?”
“I know I'm not inspiring much confidence at this point, but there's something else I thought I'd bring up.” She lifted her eyes to him. “I love you more than I love books.”
“He pretended to stretch his arms, in order to shift even closer to her. (This isn’t in the history books, of course, but we’d like to point out that this was the first time a young man had ever tried that particular arm-stretch move on a young woman. Edward was the inventor of the arm stretch, a tactic that teenage boys have been using for centuries.)”
“He wanted to tell her she'd have more room if she'd just get rid of her books, but he supposed that in her case, it would be like telling a mother she'd have more room if she threw out her children.”
“G took another gulp, and thought about the best way to break the equestrian news.My dear, you know those four-legged majestical beasts of the land? Well, you married one!No. That could not be the right approach.My sweet, have you ever had a difficult time deciding between man or beast? Well, now you don’t have to!Again, he thought better of this tactic.Sweet lady, there are those of us who sleep lying down, and those of us who sleep standing up. I can do both.No.You know how some men claim to have another, perhaps hairier side?Have you ever cursed the fact that your loved one has just the two legs?Did you know that horses have incredible balance?Hey! What’s that over there? And then he would gallop away.”
“I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. Oh. Sorry, G. Not you, of course.”
