My Lady Jane is a YA fiction novel by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows. Written in three different perspectives by three different authors, this romantic comedy tells readers what really (maybe) happened in history with Lady Jane Grey. This book was on Publishers Weekly's list of top YA books for 2016. (And it was well-deserved!)
Sex: During the Edward and Gifford chapters, the boys often comment on the figures of women. People are under the impression that Gifford is a "ladies man." Two of the characters are in an arranged marriage and the book does mention in the last chapter that they "totally consummated." There are sexual innuendos but nothing graphic.
Language: Extremely mild, especially for a YA book.
Drug/Alcohol Use: A few mentions of drinking.
Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: There is a war and plenty of people are threatened with losing their heads, but since this book is a comedy, it's nothing graphic or serious.
Final Note: This book was absolutely fantastic. I don't usually care for books in this time period (1500s) but this one was so extremely well written and entertaining! There are supposed to be two more written soon and I can't wait for them.
This looks good. I like you reviewing a historical book. What court is she in? Country?
ReplyDeleteIt's the Lady Jane Grey who served as Queen for 9 days back in the 1500s in England!
