Alexander is everything. And I loathe his parents more than ever. So, this book essentially didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I did enjoy reading about Alexander's young life before Russia, and the writing style was beautiful as always-- even while I wanted to throttle Harry and G...
I don't know what to say about this book. I even had a hard time deciding how many star to grant it. It wasn't good, not really at all. There were parts that were cringe-worthy.
