This was a Goodreads First Reads contest win.

I loved this book! It was written in a very engaging style which made it feel as if Julie d'Aubigny was telling you her life story. I am a huge fan of historical novels and this one? Was a lot of fun. It is based on a real person and her life. It gives the reader a huge desire to find out more about this strong, ahead of her time, woman who ignored social constraints on women. She had to use men to allow herself freedom but within the time period she lived in? There would have been no other way for her to be as free as she was.

Definitely worth a read for readers of historical fiction the are not upset by a strong, not caring about social norms, bisexual, woman, character based on someone from history.
