Muito envolvente e engraçado, até que nos 80% tem uma cena de abuso e depois todo mundo se faz de louco. Se não fosse isso, rolava um quatro estrelas fácil pq eu reli em uma madrugada. Mas sigo doida pra série pois confio em Shonda pra replicar oq é tudibom e mudar a fatídica cena horrorosa.

So like the rest of the world, I watched the tv show before I read this and this is something I never do. But honestly, I think it’s one of those things where I actually prefer the TV adaption rather than the book. That’s not saying the book was bad because it wasn’t. There was so much wit in here and I honestly laughed out loud so many times and I really liked reading from Simon and Daphne’s perspective.
- Julia can definitely write and I haven’t read a historical romance for ages so it was nice to read.
- Pacing and plotting was great and I like how we got more of a backstory with Simon.
- THE SCENE WITH SIMON, DAPHNE AND NIGEL HAD ME BAWLING. It was hilarious and I wish this was kept in the show!
- Honestly just wanted to read this one so I can read the next books.
But definitely read this book and please watch the show!

Un romance de época bastante ligero que no me terminó de gustar.
La primera mitad de la historia tiene un muy buen ritmo que mantiene al lector al filo de la butaca; los personajes y las escenas son muy amenas en esta primera mitad, sin embargo en la segunda mitad da, a mí parecer, un mal giro la historia.
Debo admitir que hubieron varias cosas que si me gustaron. Me gustó el personaje de Daphne, la mayor de las hijas Bridgerton, que resultó ser bastante audaz y fuerte (emocional y físicamente hablando
