1. I HATE it when romance novels have this thing where men can't control themselves in the presence of the a female character. That should she touch or even look at them they would not be able to control themselves. That narrative is not even a bit romantic. These men need serious help and are a danger to society.
2. I also hate how many "historic" romance novels and romance novels in general talk about female virginity. Like it's a way for the man to take "ownership" of her. Especially in modern romance novels virginity and the toxic concept of purity for women needs to be discussed differently.
3.
I feel like I'm being very very generous in giving one star. I was genuinely excited to read the Bridgeton-books and this is just so disappointing. I hope the Netflix series is better.
Also: please stop comparing Julia Quinn to Jane Austen. Not that Julia Quinns writing style isn't also valid, but it doesn't even compare to Jane Austen's subtle humor or criticism of society or display of political stances.

Men det är svårt att låsas och snart undrar man vad som är på riktigt och vilka känslor som är sanna.
I denna historiska romans möter vi Daphne, det fjärde barnet av syskonen Brigerton. Men också Simon, hennes brors kompis, som återvänder till London.
Jag blev väldigt överraskad av denna bok. Jag trodde att den skulle vara helt okej men oj vad fel jag hade. Jag älskade att läsa om Daphne och Simon, en väldigt positiv överraskning blev det. Rekommenderar denna bok starkt till alla som vill ha en underhållande historisk romans. Den har "the fake dating trope" om du gillar det. Det jag också gillar med denna bok är att Daphne är smart och har en egen vilja, hon kanske är oerfaren men hon är inte korkad. Rekommenderar verkligen denna bok och de andra i serien Brigerton. Detta är första boken i serien.
