A review by bookishobsessedmama
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

3.0

3/3.5 ⭐️ REREAD

I will sit on the hill that i believe the books are better than the show. The show leaves a lot out and i don’t feel like portrays every character as the book does. 

Violet is so funny in the book - she’s bold and confident and hilarious. She’s one of my favorite characters in The Duke and I. 

It’s entertaining - It’s exaggerated and not 100% accurate to the time that the book is set, but most books are. 

If you’re interested in reading the books, i would definitely do it! I always wish Julia Quinn would have wrote the books in dual POV to the two the book centered on. She could have still had Lady Whistledown at the beginning of the chapters. But i would have loved getting their thoughts throughout the different aspects of their story!
