4.5

This has been my favorite Bridgerton book so far!! And maybe that’s partially because I just LOVE fairytale retellings, especially Cinderella ones (even though Disney’s animated Cinderella is not my favorite in the least). But also cause Benedict is officially my favorite (in the books atleast), book Anthony & Colin were very lacking, I love them in the show, but their book personalities had a lot of… I guess faults, that I was not a fan of. But Benedict… I don’t know what it is…but Benedict just stole my heart! 

Especially the moment he realized he wanted to marry Sophie despite him thinking she was just a maid. He proved to be sweet & caring, and willing to say fuck society for this girl that he just couldn’t help but love!! It’s inspiring, and we all deserve a Benedict Bridgerton! 💜

I really did not like this book only because of certain events and how Benedict reacted to them, it was very out of character for him which is interesting to say because the author is still the same. Still enjoyable but rather annoying.

I adored this. I know it was cliché, with its Cinderella storyline and class difference romance, but Sophie was such a wonderful heroine, and Benedict a (mostly) charming hero, that I couldn't help falling in love with their love story.
