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! 💜

A sweet Cinderella re-telling. I loved seeing Benedict's POV and found myself giggling at the banter between Benedict and Sophie often.

A traditional Victorian-era romance so not much to comment on with respect to world building. The villain Duchess of Penwood gave me big Angelica Houston vibes and the "ugly sisters" felt very much Ever After coded.

A fun, light-hearted romance with a surprising yet satisfying ending.
