7/10. I'm glad I read this book because I appreciated some of the parts that we didn't get to see in the show and I liked getting to know the intimate thoughts of the characters (especially Brimsley). However, there were certain (small) parts of the book that differed from the show which really irked me. Also, the book completely erases the whole Lord Ledger plot line which I think completely changes Lady Danbury's character. I was really looking forward to getting to know Lady Danbury's thoughts and feelings about her illicit affair and then there was not even a hint of it in the book which was incredibly disappointing. Overall, I'm glad I read it but I doubt I will read it again and I much prefer the show to the book.

I enjoyed reading the Bridgerton series but then I LOVED the show. Having Julia and Shonda work together to create this beautiful story was incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed both the book and show.
What a beautiful story about loving our family despite their flaws, persevering in hard times, and changing the world with our actions. Brava!
