A review by issianne
My Contrary Mary by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows

4.0

4.5. Do you ever read a book and think “man, I wish I had written this…”? Because that’s legitimately how I feel. I loved “Reign” in high school and I swear the arranged marriage between these two never gets old. There’s even a reference to Bash that made want to let out one (1) small scream. Anyway… this was so fun because we’re back in the Edian/Verity world of “My Lady Jane” and we get many a callback to that book as well. Mary is stubborn and I love it. Francis is a soft boy and I love it. (And Ari is nice too.) Tbh it loses half a point because I wanted more Mary and Francis moments but that’s just me…
