I don’t think I’ve hated an mmc more than Benedict. Not nearly enough groveling and apologizing for how much of a sex pest he is.

Author still makes odd behavior choices for her main characters. I wanted to like Benedict but there were a number of selfish, terrible acts here. At least he apologized at the end.

It's cinderella for the first few chapters but this book is over years. I liked all of the characters and how it mainly focuses on newer ones vs the rest of the Bridgerton family. I like the break away from the formula.
