Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

3.25

This is the only Bridgerton book I’ve read; I watched seasons 1 and 2 of the show and have been so excited for Colin and Penelope’s season! I got tired of waiting and decided to try out the book. Unsurprising to me, I like the tv versions of each character better than their book counterparts. But I was kind of nervous going in that I’d *hate* the book version and was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t! Everything was a little more toxic, the fatphobia and comments on Pen’s virginity were a bit much, and Colin’s attitude had me sighing every few chapters… but overall I had a good time. It definitely helped that I pictured the show characters, I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed this as much with no context.
