This is my first book in the Bridgetown series. And also, I guess my first Julia Quinn book. I had watched the Bridgertin series…loved Penelope ‘s character a lot. I guess a bit too much (may be because I relate to her in someway). 
When I came to know s3 is Polin. I couldn't help getting excited, and to curb that I read the book.

Review of the Book

I Though there were times I wished Penelope could take a stand for herself. But, things worked in her favour. There are times I feel if she took a strict stand and  called out Colin  - when he found out her truth at the church. Forbade her to pursue her hobby. Would he still marry her? Would he be intimidated by her opposing him so fiercely?

I liked Colin at times and at times I felt his love for Penelope was a bit too forced. 
What made him fall for her? There were no threats that made him ‘realise’ his love (like they introduce the love triangle in S3 in Bridgerton). Just one fine day he wakes up and finds Penelope pretty and intelligent. 

The romance was written because they had to write it. IT WAS THEIR BOOK. 

But I liked the various emotions, I was inspired by Penelope giving pep talk to Colin about writing. How it inspires the readers, etc. 

For me I came to this book only for Penelope and only for her.
