3 stars because I didn't love it but it wasn't the worst book I've read. 
It was entertaining enough for me to finish it. 
Phillip is insufferable in many of the scenes. 
Eloise is neurodivergent, imo. 
The kids are some of the best parts of the book and we barely got scenes with them. 

Look for Trigger warnings ⚠️

I usually read a book before bed, but I am usually pretty particular about my selection for this time of day. It has to be cozy and lighthearted, otherwise the story will seep into my brain and disrupt my sleep. This book was the perfect choice for me then for my bed time read! It was engaging and I was so happy to finally read Eloise’s story, who’s a hoot! Whenever I look at Bridgerton books ranked lists, this one is always rated pretty low, but I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to continuing the series.

Absolute negative stars. Phillip is absolutely insufferable and has little redemption. He married Eloise simply because he was in need of a lay and conveniently fell in love with her. He had no empathy for Marina, and I don’t know HOW Eloise was doomed to this fate. She deserves so much more.
