The Cinderella retelling aspect was fun, and just like all the Bridgerton novels, Quinn makes me laugh out loud and charms me.
This one was slower going, but I think it’s the fault of my general reading slump. They’re not groundbreaking stories by any means, but they’ve been a nice little escape.
If you are not used to early 2000s historical romances, or if you’re expecting the show, I recommend you adjust your thoughts going in.

benedict pressuring sophie to be his mistress really gave me the ick, especially when he just wouldn't let it drop and just didn't seem to understand her pov until the 11th hour. which fine he has his revelation and apologies and gets to play saviour but i was having a hard time seeing his advances as romantic when it mostly came across as entitled. he had his moments where he was roguish and charming but he could really be a dick. idk the power dynamics weren't hitting. i did like sophie though. i enjoyed her pov
