Listen. I know the Bridgerton books are bad. They are poorly written and problematic in their portrayal of romantic relationships. But I need to pass the time between the release of part 1 and part 2 of season 3, ok?? Just let me enjoy this garbage of a romance novel in peace while I wait for the far superior tv adaptation to be available for streaming!

This is a pretty boring book with little plot and an unlikeable male lead. Plus points for Penelope because I do like her.

I was super excited for this book! & with the new season coming out of the show following them I wanted to read it beforehand & give me something to tide me over until then. There was a lot I loved, & a lot of scenes I can’t wait to play out in the show. 

But I’m not going to lie & say Colin’s temper didn’t really bug me. I understand him getting angry, especially when he finds out about the Lady Whistledown secret or when she’s caught reading his journal. But what I don’t like is the physical abuse that goes along with it, & yes I know it’s nothing giant, he doesn’t hit her or anything that horrible, but the little things can be bad too. Like the scene at their engagement ball with him holding on to her to hurt her instead of letting his temper blow up to the whole room, that is not an okay reaction & I have loved Colin so much throughout the show & the books too, but reactions like that piss me off & Penelope doesn’t know that it’s not okay. What’s going to happen when they have kids & the kids make him angry, will the violence get worse through the years? It’s such a little thing, but it really gets me, & I hope they rewrote that for the show, I’d hate to lose my love for Polin in the show too!

I couldn’t wait until Penelope’s season comes. So here I am….
I was kind of disappointed. I enjoyed Colin’s character in others except in his own book. 
The anger, manhandling, temper ain’t it.
The chemistry was there but barely. P loves C for so long, but C’s “infatuation” for P wasn’t there. There is no development.

I did enjoy some of the romance crumbs and Eloise and Colin’s bantering. True meaning of siblings.
And why tf is Colin always hungry..?!

Carriage scene and and 

"For God's sake, Penelope," he said, grabbing her hand and yanking her down. "Are you going to marry

me or not?" Chapter 13

Before marriage?!?! Chap 18

I don’t think I read the mirror scene as many Bridgeton series fan are anticipating… or many I blanked out…

There was nothing more depressing than an ugly girl with no personality. 
And in that first vear on the marriage mart, that was exactly what Penelope was. An ugly girl with no oh, very well, she had to give herself some credit-with very little personality. 
Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.

I LOVE this book!! This is my 3rd Read through and it is still one of my favorites in the whole series. The fast paced book really rewards the faithful series readers with this one building on the other. The anticipation going in is always so high and then the book truly delivers the best lighthearted love story that you will swoon over! I can’t gush about this enough. 💗
