Book Review - Don't Lose Your Head: Life Lessons from the Six Ex-Wives of Henry VIII

About the Book
Survive alongside Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and the rest of King Henry VIII’s ill-fated wives with this witty book of essential life advice, history, and trivia—the perfect handbook for fans of the hit musical Six.

 
Get the inside scoop from some of the toughest women in English history, as ex-wives, mothers, and daughters of King Henry VIII dish out all their survival secrets in this humorous guide to life. With a bit of sarcasm and friendly charm, each of these legendary ladies explains how their 16th-century hard-earned lessons (from living with unstable men to stifling Tudor traditions) apply to 21st-century dating, marriage, and feminism.

 
Written from the perspectives of each of the different women around Henry VIII, you’ll get the facts from the Queen Mother and the less-remembered but no less important Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and more.

 
With must-know historical trivia alongside wise life advice, Don’t Lose Your Head is the perfect survival guide for fans obsessed with Broadway’s latest historical pop musical Six, as well as anyone fascinated by British royalty and culture.

My Take on the Book
This is such a fun book. If you love history and the wives of Henry VIII, you will love this book. The author does a great job of educating you while still keeping the book flowing with every page. I learned so much and so did my daughter, who is a HUGE fan of history. What I loved was that the book was written in first person narrative and you get to hear the history from a totally different perspective with this regard. The book even provides some humor with wives of Henry even poking fun at one another. The book is a great read and I know you will learn a ton as you read this, I know I did!
