To Sir Phillip, With Love: Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

3.75

I had really high expectations for this book because I liked Eloise so much. Eloise's personality was really able to shine in this book. It's very clear that she's stubborn, independent, scrappy, sarcastic, and outspoken. I liked how much agency Eloise had at the beginning of the novel. I liked that it was established that Eloise chose to be a spinster rather than marry a man she didn't love. Thus, it felt very in character that Eloise would take matters into her own hands and disappear in the middle of the night to live with Phillip. However, I did not like that her agency was taken away from her and she would all but forced by her brothers to marry Phillip. As a love interest, Phillip felt very middle-of-the-road to me. I liked that he was able to go toe-to-toe with Eloise, but I wish they had more chemistry together.
