If there is one thing that I have learned in reading the Bridgerton series, it's that I can always trust Julia Quinn to craft a story that is parts heartwarming, heartbreaking, and humorous - all at the same time. I had been putting off reading On the Way to the Wedding - Gregory's story for months because I was so sad to see the series end. After finishing the book (and series) I am both overjoyed and devastated.

Throughout the series, we've seen bits of Gregory's character peak through in the lives of his siblings, and I've always been curious how his view on love had been shaped by seeing his siblings find happiness with their spouses. I absolutely adore how fully Gregory believes in love, so certain that he will find that for himself one day. His personality felt like such a combination of his siblings that I could find parts of all of them in his thoughts, interactions, and beliefs.

I truly enjoyed watching his story with Lady Lucinda unfold; him realizing where his heart truly lies (like Anthony and Kate), witnessing his slow fall into a comfortable love (so similar to Colin and Penelope's story) while also doing all he can to fight for her (so much like Benedict and Sophie). Lucy was an amazing character and I felt like her Type A personality fit so well with Gregory who opens his arms to the chaos around him. The plot of the story kept me on my toes and I was truly shocked when

she actually married Lord Haselby and when her uncle was reveled to be guilty of treason and not her father.

I would have loved for more time with Gregory and Lucy spending time together before the event, but the story was so beautiful that it feels wrong to complain.

P.S. I love Violet - she's such an amazing character and I adore her interactions with her children and just having her on the page feels like a warm hug.

P.S.S. I love that the shooting abilities of the siblings is so prevalent in the series - Eloise being the best and Gregory being the worst makes me happier than it should.

But mostly, he kissed her because … Because … He smiled, taking her head in his hands and letting his nose rest against hers. “I love you, you know.” She smiled back. “I know.” And he finally realized why he was going to kiss her again. Just because.

He thought she was beautiful. Love existed, he thought to himself. And it was grand. He smiled. Nine times grand. Which was very grand, indeed.

gregory is one of my three favorite bridgerton siblings ever and his story, although flawed, was executed perfectly. the plot twist with richard was something i didn't expect
