Book Review and Update

so i actually finished this book like a month ago, i just haven't gotten around to writing a review for it. two weeks of a crazy work schedule and then this past week i drove home to AZ again to babysit and then go to cali the next week with my family, I'm currently still in California! 

(in the next couple of days ill hopefully be able to catch up  with all of the projects i've wanted to write.)

the past couple of weeks have been crazy, but i have a feeling they are about to get way crazier when i get home, i have a job interview next week and and there is just a ton of things going on that I'm going to need to adjust to and try to figure out. 
you would think that since its summer time i would have less to worry about but i feel as if it is the complete opposite! summer consists of more work, trying to be social, all while trying to save for college. (which i am terrible at by the way)

anyway back to the book, which was one from my reading list that i literally finished like four weeks ago!
The Glittering Court
i should have written this right away because now i can't remember everything i wanted to say about the book... YAY, go me right?

The Glittering Court, is a great combination of two of my favorite genres: Elizabethan and Old Western. it kind of reminded me of one of my favorite tv shows, Reign. it's also the first of three books that will follow along three different girls and their journeys through this experience of the glittering court. which i am very excited to read!
but since i lack the effort write an actual summary, i will just give you the one written for the book:

For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. To high-born Adelaide, whose wealthy family is forcing her into a loveless marriage, the Glittering Court represents something else: the chance to chart her own destiny, and adventure in an unspoiled, prosperous new land across the sea.

After a chance meeting with the dazzling Cedric Thorn, Adelaide poses as a servant to join the crop of impoverished girls he promises to transform into proper ladies. But her familiarity with upper class life comes with a price: she must hide her identity from her new friends, mysterious refugee Mira and fiery former laundress Tamsin, and most importantly, from Cedric himself—even though she’s falling in love with him. 

Everything begins to crumble when Cedric discovers Adelaide’s ruse, and she catches the eye of a powerful young governor, who wants her for a wife. She didn’t leave the gilded cage of her old life behind just to become someone else's property. But nothing is as daunting—or as wonderful—as the potent, forbidden attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. One that, if acted on, would make them both outcasts in a wild, dangerous, uncharted world, and possibly lead them to their deaths.

if this looks like something you may be interested in, i highly encourage you to read it! i mean i basically read it in the span of a couple days, and i only do that for the books i really like!
