MOST of the book is very sweet, with the star-crossed lovers from different social spheres falling for eachother, and for the first half, I was 100% Team Benedict and Sophie. Then Benedict asks Sophie to be his mistress, gets very reasonably rejected, and starts blackmailing Sophie to keep her in his life. It gets better, and Quinn at least has him realise he was a dickhead by the end, but man, this could have been a five star for me if it just weren't there in the first place.
I await season 4 of the TV show with bated breath and sincerely hope they leave out the parts of the story that make you hate Benedict.

The Cinderella retelling aspect was fun, and just like all the Bridgerton novels, Quinn makes me laugh out loud and charms me.
This one was slower going, but I think it’s the fault of my general reading slump. They’re not groundbreaking stories by any means, but they’ve been a nice little escape.
If you are not used to early 2000s historical romances, or if you’re expecting the show, I recommend you adjust your thoughts going in.
