I needed to fill the season 3 whole as I wait until May 16th. This is the only Bridgerton book I’ve read and I’ll probably just wait for each season from now one. Overall, I  didn’t like the writing. It felt too rushed in some chapters and too drawn out in majority. I have to say, I’m glad the show is going with a different plot line. The characters were… something. I was thrown for a loop when a certain character acted very different from the lovable character that’s portrayed in the show. I understand that the book can’t be compared to the show but I would be lying if I said I was hoping that it would be written like the show. Read if you want but don’t have too high expectations if you are coming from only knowing and watching the show to reading the book.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Emotional abuse, Body shaming, Bullying, and Sexual content

Minor: Pregnancy

colin has a temper, and often is forceful and mean so that’s why I said emotional abuse and it’s throughout the book so it’s not a minor tag

I've read this before. But. Listening to it was SO MUCH BETTER. Definitely recommend listening. The accents were prefect. Loved. It.
