Now, I cannot say I went into this book with expectations of quality writing or plot. In fact I expected very little, considering how much I disliked the first few chapters of "The Duke and I" when I tried to read that. However it appears the Bridgerton brainrot is real and I find myself unable to give this book any less than 4 stars as I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Sure I did not particularly like this version of Colin, he is quick to anger and honestly a bit mean. My love for him in the show seems to overshadow this though and I feel that he does get better as the book goes on. I did absolutely love how they made Colin a writer and how he and Penelope worked together. He feels more fleshed out in the book than he does in the show, especially with the books focus on his lack of direction.
My biggest disappointment is the mirror scene, I blame the internet.
Also Penelope is a doll and could do so much better than Colin.
