This was a sweet and comforting read coming out of an intense series hangover. It's the first Bridgerton I've read, but I skipped ahead since Colin and Penelope's season is coming up soon on Netflix (though I have a feeling the show may divert from the original story a bit). I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it was not as "steamy" as I expected. It was still a delight and very romantic. I wish I had felt more chemistry between Colin and Penelope. I appreciate the fact that the show leans more into their friendship, whereas the book they were much more familiar acquaintances.
