I don't think a book has ever made me laugh as much as The Duke and I. I adored every character we got a chance to know. I was surprised how little a part Lady Whistledown played in the book. Many of the conflicts in the book were far more satisfying than the show, feeling much more realistic and believable.
I would definitely suggest checking trigger warnings. Even with the show I wasn't expecting so much talk on a few heartbreaking subjects that could be sensitive.
All in all I'm very excited to start the next book even though Ibwas hesitant before having not really enjoyed Anthony's season of the show.

I was loving Daphne, actually. And her right hook.
Simon had less depth in my eyes, he was pretty much attraction for Daphne and a bundle of daddy issues made into a man. A very handsome one at that, though I'm not sure because we were mostly given hair and eye color plus height and that's it.
Actually, it was pretty much the same with Daphne.
But anyway, that's not my point. My point is that scene.
Seriously, I could give my 4 stars and go on my merry way if it weren't for that scene.
I will be reading the next ones, of course, because I don't think I'll ever have enough of the eldest Bridgerton brothers. But I'm eager to just read about another couple and let Daphne and Simon go on their not-so-merry way.
