Beautiful read
Even more heartbreaking than the show! I loved reading the thoughts behind the dialogue. A must read for the Bridgerton fan!

Courage. That is the world I would use to describe this plot, these characters, and the overall theme. These characters have courage to stand on their own, chart their own path, and make difficult changes in both themselves and the world around them.
I thought this story was beautifully done when I saw the TV series, but now after reading the book, I have a new appreciation. I love that this book followed the show scene by scene, but it was written, so there is so much more detail to take in. You can hear the characters thoughts while reading a book, it is told solely through their eyes, no one else's.
I will forever support Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes and these books. They are beautiful stories.
But I will warn for those who do not enjoy it, there is a lot of spice. They are romances afterall.
I hope this review helps. Happy Reading and Blessed Be.

I watched the show when it came out last year and this books been on my shelf since then and I’ve been putting it off but I’m a little glad I did because it brought me right back to this amazing story. I think I prefer the Queen Charlotte show to Bridgerton show, the story is amazing and the romance is amazing and it shows their true love by fighting with a big problem that affects their lives that is unchangeable and it shows the struggle with racism and homophobia so really it encapsulates everything and this story is a 5 star and so’s the show but I don’t think the book itself is but maybe

I watched the series few nights ago. The show was soulful, heart wrenching, beautifully executed with wonderful acting performances by the cast members. The minor characters shine bright and the story is just so perfect.
So then after I was done sobbing, I went ahead and was scrolling all the show content and realized they decided to turn the story into a book. I read the book the following night.
As much as I loved the show, I can't say that about the book. It lacked the soul and heart that was present in the show. I thought I would find more inner turmoil, the mental headspace of the characters. But the book simply felt like video to essay transcription.
In the show, the stories are show in two timelines in parallel. That didn’t happen in the book. I am giving it 2 star. You can easily ignore this book.
