This book was a solid 4 and had me silently screaming at the banter between Daphne and Simon but with 25% left something happened that disgusted me so much I forced myself to finish the book.

I wonder if turning 30 made me desire a need to read Regency-era romance stories when before they were never my thing. However, this was a wonderful book to get things going and I'm looking forward to the rest. I'll admit I watched the Netflix show first, so it's neat to compare page to screen and see what changes they made. I think both are great stories in their own way.

Dearest Gentle Reader, this book wasn’t what I was expecting.   While it did bring to life the characters and their stories, I feel as though it fell rather flat compared to the show.  I did enjoy the epilogues and the audiobook was narrated rather nicely, I don’t think I will be continuing this book series as of now.  It was entertaining just not really worth it to me, perhaps I’ll revisit this series later though.
