I have seen Bridgerton so I knew what I was getting into, warts and all, when I picked this up. Unfortunately, although I loved the show, I can't in good faith give this book above 2 stars. Obviously Daphne and Simon's relationship has the same conflict here as in the adaptation, but the minor changes made by Netflix made their reconciliation more palatable to me overall in that version.
