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..?!
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 really enjoyed finally seeing Colin come to his senses and I can’t wait to watch his and Penelope’s season of bridgerton!! Colin had me giggling and kicking my feet several times and the twist at the end had me screaming! I wish he maybe had more of a personality than woe is me, I’m a third son and therefore have no direction in life. I will say that Penelope kind of serves as his manic pixie dream girl in that way. She encourages him to

I did not like Colin Bridgerton. His behaviour towards Penelope makes me quite uncomfortable as it is similar to that of an abusive partner. Not in that he beats her but he can not control his emotions and
Also his thought process of
I understand that his "thing" is being a charmer and a incredibly kind person in the public but actually having quite the temper and not being sweet...and honestly that is a trope I never need to read again.
I gave this book more time because I liked the Penelope in the TV series(her authenticity, intelligence, wit, progressive views and
