Godiva by Nicole Galland published in 2013, the year of my TBO(tremendous book over-buying) sat on my shelf for a good time because shortly after purchase, a friend rated it a 1 star. I've read some fairly heavy books of late and it seemed like an opportune time to read something a bit lighter.

I made a conscious decision to ignore some of the anachronistic aspects of it which everyone seems to notice. I also ignored my feminist instincts to automatically dislike the manipulatively flirtatious women, which Godiva was depicted as. By taking these two simple steps I was able to quite enjoy this book.
