I do still like the show more, mostly because it also interwove scenes from the Brigerton era we know from the original show, but this was a lot of fun! I love George and Charlotte just as much in print, and I think they did a great job of translating their character into book characters. The chapters were short, and the pace was fast, so I feel like I flew through it. I don't really have any complaints about the book really, it just wasn't like mind blowingly amazing, but still good 🤷‍♀️

7/10. I'm glad I read this book because I appreciated some of the parts that we didn't get to see in the show and I liked getting to know the intimate thoughts of the characters (especially Brimsley). However, there were certain (small) parts of the book that differed from the show which really irked me. Also, the book completely erases the whole Lord Ledger plot line which I think completely changes Lady Danbury's character. I was really looking forward to getting to know Lady Danbury's thoughts and feelings about her illicit affair and then there was not even a hint of it in the book which was incredibly disappointing. Overall, I'm glad I read it but I doubt I will read it again and I much prefer the show to the book.
