Reviews with content warning for Colonisation - Because of Miss Bridgerton

If you manage to read past the first third where nothing much happens except that Billie Bridgerton keeps telling the reader that she's Not Like Other Girls, then it's an okay book. It's a slowburn and I wasn't particularly wowed by the love interest but I did enjoy the gender nonconformity of Billie's and also the fact that other women's characterisation didn't suffer too much from being Other Girls.
Another reviewer said that this book has strong consent so I feel compelled to point out

that the first kiss between the main characters happens after he ignores SEVERAL soft "no"s and kisses her very forcefully. She is not upset about it after that but that's not what I would call strong consent.
