It dragged on quite a bit in the middle, but past about the 65% mark, it picked up speed. I really loved the conclusion, and I love what their relationship turns into. And although Colin is insufferable at moments, I like his playful/youthful energy. But all the Bridgerton men are a bit obnoxious tbh, I actually think he's one of the better ones, book version at least, from what I've read. Him and Pen joke around a lot with each other, and it's lovely to see Pen's growth as she comes into herself and
comes out as Lady Whistledown
. Also as she becomes a writer and they eventually support each other's dreams, albeit Colin did so reluctantly at first. The 2nd epilogue was quite confusing, I kept thinking that Pen was
pregnant
but she wasn't (?).
