I adored this story. It was so lovely to see the relationship between Daphne and Simon blossom.
Also, I do understand why people would give the book a lower rating. However, I do feel it's fairly unjust. Yes, Daphne shouldn't have done what she did, but, in context, she didn't force Simon to do anything he didn't want to.
Overall, a riveting start and introduction to the Bridgertons!

I’ll say just about the worst thing someone can say about a book: the TV show was so much better
