This is the second Bridgerton book I read in as many days, make of that what you will.
Anyways! This is basically Cinderella and there’s absolutely nothing wrong about that. If you loved Cinderella growing up, and wanted it to be 350 pages long, a tasteful amount of smutty and just so beautifully angsty them this is the book for you - it certainly was the book for me.
I don’t have a lot of smart things to say about it (the fact that it’s about 2:30am doesn’t help) but Benedict is a good sibling and dangerously close to dethroning Colin from the “best sibling” spot, but I still have many books left in this series so I’ll hold my final judgment. Sophie, however, is an amazing main character. I’ve loved her from page one, she’s funny, magnetic, smart and everything about her character is beautifully written. Benedict can be oblivious at times but it works for the book and for what his development is by the end of it, and the banter is just so wonderful to read I’ve just finished the book and already miss it.
Colin might still be my favorite Bridgerton but Sophie and Benedict definitely are mu favorite couple (at least of the ones I’ve read).
