Julia Quinn's Cinderella - she leaves a glove behind, but - of course - gets her prince in the end.

I liked this a lot more than #2

So far, Benedict and Sophie are my favorite couple. I liked their first meet cute and how well they complimented each other, though I wish Sophie would've just come out and told Benedict who she was rather than him finding out the way he did. He was completely smitten by her and obviously didn't care about her status in society.

Sophie was super caring and had a huge heart, which I loved. Benedict was protective and loving as well. I also enjoyed seeing more of the Bridgerton siblings. I'm excited to read more in this series.

I was a little apprehensive going into this book cause I've heard some other people's complaints about some stuff that happens. And I kinda agree with them. I'm not as angry with Benedict over what happened and how he reacted, I think what got to me about the whole situation is him not being able to let it go after the multiple times Sophie told him no. And I honestly don't see why Sophie would want to marry him after all of that drama and manipulation.
I will say the first 150 pages is a beautiful romance and had such potential. It was a shame that it didn't stay like that the entire time.

I don't have much to say except that I love the Bridgerton show and don't know why it took me so long to dive into the books. Even though this is technically the 3rd book in the series, I didn't want to read the books involving the couples from the first two seasons of the show, so I skipped ahead to it. 

Overall, I read this so fast and really enjoyed it!
