Eloise is my favorite character in the Bridgerton television series and it bothered me to see her end up with Sir Philip rather than a man who could match her progressive views and intellectual mind. In Sir Philip I found major misogynistic, sexist, and even, at times, predatory tones within his perspecitve. And while this sexist reality might not be uncommon for the Regency era, it was not enjoyable to read about in the modern day, especially in regards to Philip seeming to connect with Eloise on every level of what a romantic relationship is, except on a mental, emotional level.

Overall, this was the first Bridgerton book I have read and I found Julia Quinn's style to be humorous and nicely lighthearted. I like how Eloise is described and how she grows as a character. I just can't help but feel like Sir Philip doesn't deserve her. Obviously Sir Philip's backstory explains his ways, but in no way does this excuse them. I hope Eloise finds a love interest who is better matched for her in the Netflix series.

queerfatloud's review against another edition

Yeah when he called his depressed postpartum wife “a burden” and that he was “relieved” that she was dead (a suicide attempt that lead her to become sick and die) I was absolutely fucking out. I’ll stick to the show. This man is the devil.
