Dear George, Dear Mary

I would like to thank Goodread for running a give away and being one of the winners of this ARC.

I am sorry it took me so long to get around to reading it. That was not my intention but life happens.

I have to say I didn't know too much about Mary Philipse. I didn't realize that she was a big part of George's life before he met and married Martha. 

With saying that I only gave this book 3 stars. I just didn't like how the story was presented. I have read a lot about George Washington and his life and I am surprised that he had an interest in her when he had strong feelings Sally Fairfax. I like my Historical Fiction to be factually correct.  I would have preferred it to be just a fiction book without the historical attached to it.  I do believe that the letters are true but not the romance part.

Would I recommend this book, yes as long they know that it isn't historically correct.
