Eloise has always been a favourite character of mine since I watched the first season of Bridgerton. I loved getting to read her story as it was meant to be told (versus the Shondaland interpretation).

Eloise is nearing thirty, and both her and her best friend Penelope are beyond the age of eligible bachelorettes on the marriage mart. She has been corresponding with a man, prompted by death of a distant family member.

In true Eloise fashion, she makes a spur of the moment decision and this begins the true story. I loved the details within the letters of Sir Phillip and Eloise and the interaction between Eloise and Sir Phillips very naughty children.

Felt very Sound of Music with a penpal twist and made for a fun, light read.
