3.5

For me it was a book which started off quite promising. However, around the 50% mark I felt like it just tapered into what was quite a heart-warming but predictable ending. The main cast and supporting characters all did seem quite well fleshed out despite their involvement, which does make me interested in reading most of the other books in the Bridgerton family. Though Violet Bridgerton remained the character I really wished I could have had more of. I always had the most fun reading when she was in the scene.
I did enjoy how easy this book was to read. The writing was well versed and I didn't feel I was having any issues with following conversation or chronological events.
