I have finally done it!
It may have taken me endless cajoling from my mother and the influence of one two many people on my TikTok telling me to read Bridgerton Series, but I have finally read the first book in the series.
To nobodies surprise, I loved it. Some may even say I enjoyed it more than the series. I love the relationship progression between Daphne and Simon, the man is swoon worthy! The relationship between Daphne and her older brothers as well is so much more thought out and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series 🪩
The only thing that stopped it being a 5 ⭐️ rating was the scene that is also in the series where Daphne takes advantage but that is the only part of this I disliked.
Seriously, if you want something romantic, regency era then I would highly recommend this book. It’s funny, it’s light and I literally devoured it this afternoon. If you enjoy romance, The Bridgerton Tv Show or anything Austen vibes adjacent, then I would tell you to run and read this book 🫶💫
