I did not like Colin at all.

He was dismissive, controlling, and hardly saw Penelope as a person before she starts singing his praises. He can't seem to fathom how she could possibly have a life outside of him, let alone secrets, despite their friendship being significantly less established compared to the show. People talked about how he was Colin 'my wife' Bridgerton. Where? When? In the last chapter or two? In the epilgues? He spent most of the book angry and absorbed in his own misery.

There was one sexy scene which feels lowkey fatphobic, and I was reading thinking I don't know how people say it is, there's hardly any mention of Penelope's weight. But how come my girly didn't get to feel desirable as often as the others?

I have to admit that I would have had little to no interest in reading any of this series if it hadn't been for the Netflix show. I still don't really have a lot of interest in the books after seeing the show, but I liked this season enough that I wanted to see how it compared to the book. For the most part I was entertained, but something about it just translates better to screen, and that's not something I say very often. I enjoyed the book for the fluff it was, but I don't see myself being in a rush to buy the rest of the series.

I'd only watched the show before this, but I wanted to see how different the book was because I liked parts of their season, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Idk the characterization made Colin feel much younger than he was supposed to be (like his random anger issues). It was fine for a romance book, but just not really my cup of tea.
