Look. The Bridgerton books are no great literary wonders, but they are, at least to me, enjoyable romantic reads. I find all these books endearing love stories, I do always swoon when they declare their love for each other. I often use these books as pallet cleaners for after heavier reads. 
My only complaint is that I don’t love the light fat phobia in the second epilogue. And I dislike in Cinderella retellings where one of the step sisters has to be fat.

Though the character of Posy is darling, especially in the end

The first eleven chapters were wonderful. After that, Benedict is the absolute worst. Mansplain, gaslight, coercion. This stopped feeling like a love story. I finished it for the other characters and to get to the next book.

Benedict is an absolute dickhead. The female anatomy in the book is completely bonkers. There is explicict fat shaming. Insta-love is a theme. 
A fast, trashy read.
