The first time I saw this book was when my mom and I were shopping for presents before last Christmas. I got curious, since I had read lots of books about Sissy but none about any of her sisters. Plus this particular sister had the same name as I do, and, even if it doesn't make much sense, that made me even more curious.I got the book for Christmas and finished it within two days, so I guess it goes without saying that I liked it. However, I'm quite sure that it is far from being the true story of her life. It's way too scandalous and it's not really likely that these kind of things happened to a princess in the 19th century.
Despite all of this it was an interesting read. The only thing that annoys me is that the book really made me want to know more about Shopie's real life but I have yet to find a reliable source. I recommend this book but do not expect historical accuracy.
