I kind of loved the drama of it all but I can’t forgive how completely boring Lucy and Gregory are as people. They don’t really have personalities and I wasn’t able to invest in their love like I could for most of the other Bridgerton siblings. He only gets a tiny pass for busting into a church to stop a wedding and propose to the bride himself. And I guess Lucy has some OCD tendencies too.
Unfortunately, I don’t know who I’d recommend this final book in the series to. Spice lovers will not be satisfied at all. I think maybe self deprecating messy gays could enjoy, since they finally have a little representation. That said: I had a good time and I’m ready to say goodbye to the series.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but this book was the best in the whole series! I do wish we had gotten to know Gregory prior to his book so we had some backstory, other than his bickering with hyacinth. With the other brothers’ books (and most of the sisters as well) none of the men desired marriage, and pushed it off for as long as possible. Gregory on the other hand is a man who knows what he wants and is VERY good at expressing himself. There is no miscommunication trope here! Gregory is a hopeless romantic who has been searching for that lightning has struck me kind of love, when he meets hermione Watson (shoutout to hermione granger/emma Watson?). She’s gorgeous but has like no personality, and she’s in love with someone back home. Her best friend Lucy doesn’t approve of him so she teams up with Gregory to help him win hermione, only they start to realize they’re a much better match. EXCEPT Lucy is already engaged to another man and has been since childhood. She finds out later that he’s

I re-read the entire series. On the second read, I can say that I liked this book more then before -- though my rating stayed the same. The characters were cute and the relationships were decent. The plot was cute and the writing fine.

This book wasn't horrible, but it was my least favorite in the series. Though I could be suffering from fatigue/burnout with the series.
The main characters, Gregory and Lucy, were alright. The plot was cute but very predictable with Gregory wanting Lucy's best friend Hermione before realizing he was in love with Lucy. The writing was fine, and the relationships were decent.

The second epilogue was much more dark than I anticipated, but, as always, you can expect a happily ever after.

4.5
The second epilogue should have had a trigger warning about the very explicit though probably realistic blood and bodily harm to a character I'm sure many readers, like myself, will have grown a significant amount of love and empathy for (which does make the events harder to stomach). I threw up and had to skip ahead enough to not risk seeing any more so I am not exactly sure what I missed but I'm sad that I won't know the whole truth about the ending even if I stayed shaking and faint for awhile after.
Still, I give this book a 4.5 and tip my hat to Julia Quinn for writing a captivating series.
