This book has definitely been one of my favorites in this series so far, tied up with The Viscount Who Loved Me.
I really like Penelope as a character, and although Colin was immature at times and with a bad temper, I’m fond of him, he did make me frustrated at times, but the love he has for Penelope was really sweet

I just finished the Bridgerton Netflix series in a binge spanning two days and I immediately had to have more. Penelope and Colin are the slow burn friends to lovers couple of my dreams and even if their screen time wasn’t plentiful I fell in love with their dynamic. I even abandoned reading the series in order for them! This story was what I like to call a dessert - an indulgence that leaves me feeling warm and contented by the end! I have a hard time convincing myself that not all books have to have some huge moral quandary to be of substance and this story definitely brought me a little closer to the full realization.

I'm getting tired of reading the same story. It's a shame because Penelope and Colin were my favorite characters in the other books. This book makes both of them out of character. When did colin become cold, short-tempered, and mean? Why does JQ never write wedding scenes? I wish we got to see Penelope's family more. One of the last big points is there's a family meeting every Tuesday but this is never been established or used again in any of the books. The main conflict isn't really a problem and is solved by telling everyone anyway.
