Além das questões referentes ao casal, também as cenas que incluíram outras personagens foram mais frequentes e relevantes para o enredo, tanto o livro, como da coleção. A este nível, gostei particularmente de todas as cenas que incluíram Eloise e Hyacinth, na medida em que ambas são bastante incisivas e divertidas, na forma como se relacionam com os outros. Também a relação de Penelope com a sua irmã mais nova, Felicity, e a amizade que vai travando, no início da história, com Lady Danbury foram muito agradáveis de ler, sendo evidentes o carinho e apoio mútuos.
Por fim, a revelação da identidade de Lady Whistledown, ainda que não muito surpreendente, acrescentou um pouco mais de magnitude ao enredo e originou um sentimento de alguma antecipação, que não esteve presente em nenhum dos volumes anteriores.

TikTok does lie a bit cause I expected the mirror scene to be major like the carriage but it was just a line that Colin said of him wanting to do it in front of a mirror not them actually doing it in front of a mirror. Still that carriage scene was spicy despite them not actually doing it.

2021 review: (3 stars) Colin Bridgerton returns home from his travels and starts to think about getting married. Penelope Featherington has been in love with Colin for the past twelve years. As Colin spends more time with Penelope, he realizes that she is funny, charming, and confident around him. Penelope encourages Colin to publish his travel memoirs, and Colin discovers Penelope's secret (she is Lady Whistledown!). I enjoyed seeing the close friendship between Colin and Penelope develop into a loving marriage. This definitely seemed like a more realistic romance since the main characters don't just meet and instantly fall in love. I wish that the wedding scene in the book wasn't so rushed. I felt like I blinked and missed it. Lady Danbury shined in all of her scenes. It was also fun to see characters from the Smythe-Smith series by Julia Quinn in this book. For fans of Mary Balogh and historical romance books following large families.
