Thoughts:

One fateful night, I wanted to read something short, browsed through Libby and came upon this.

I have never watch Bridgerton and still am not interested. But, I figured this could be one of those related medias that you don’t need to follow the main story to get.

I was right about that but didn’t realize this was going to be bonkers.

This story is like if Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre while high off her ass and trying to evoke giggles from her equally high sisters. This is just a silly story with a bit of raunchy humor. Miss Butterworth ends up in terrible situations with other wacky characters but does the whole "keep a stiff upper lip" thing.

The artwork took a bit to get used too. At first it looked unappealing but after a while, I got used to and it works with really well presenting the ridiculous story going on.

Maybe if I were a fan of Bridgerton, this would be even more amusing to me but I’m not. No regrets reading it but I could have gone my life without reading it too.
