Segunda vez que he leído este libro y tengo la misma opinión que la primera vez, y le he puesto 4 estrellas porque no puedo poner 3,5.
Con El Duque y yo nos adentramos en un mundo ya bastante visto en este tipo de novela, las usuales escenas en bailes, una familia multitudinaria y una heroína que al principio es bastante agradable pero que a la mitad del libro se ve que está lejos de ser la usual protagonista super bondadosa para enseñar una faceta bastante egoísta, cosa que la autora no debe ver así porque en casi ningún momento lo trata como tal.
Si le he puesto algo más de 3 estrellas es porque la primera mitad del libro, con la relación de amistad entre los personajes como amigos, se hace bastante amena y entretenida. Con la segunda mitad lo único interesante es la forma en la que Simon supera sus traumas porque, como ya he dicho, Daphne deja bastante que desear con sus acciones.
La narrativa no es nada del otro mundo pero por ello también es un libro que he podido leerme en una tarde sin ningún problema. Si queréis algo empalagoso, bonito y rápido esta es una buena opción.

Are y'all for real? No bffr. Can't believe im saying this but i liked 1984 more than this. Bruh girlie doesnt know boundaries. Simon just idk a mess. It was semi okay until chapter 16 it all went downhill and made me uncomfortable and angry and disgusting. The ending made no sense what so ever 0 stars.

-10000000 stars for the SA that is just brushed under the rug like it didn't happen. I understand Daphne's point that Simon needed to let his father go and live his own life, but it definitely didn't need to happen in that way. She has been and remains my least favorite Bridgerton ✌🏻

That being said, now that I'm into it with this series, I still have some hope that the following books keep getting better in quality just like the show does! If anything, I know I'm not experiencing a paragon of literature/historical romance here, but I'm nothing if not nosy, and I want to know what happens to everyone!
