Dangerous Woman: The Life, Loves, And Scandals Of… par Michael Foster

I really really really wanted to love this book. I love reading about strong women in history, even infamous women. I love to learn about different eras and people but not like this. This book read like an encyclopedia entry and I am sorry to say it but I couldn't finish it, got about half way and had to stop, well...after looking at the pictures of course. This is a wonderful subject, the book is written like it was amazingly researched, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
