LOVED this book. Devoured it in a day. Thought the story was unique, loved the characters (although Ben kinda sucked, still loved him) and touched on some topics of substance and importance.

Good, I did enjoy it

Spoiler

but it was literally miscommunication that made me want to screech at points and essentially a Cinderella retelling but also never really made it there either

. The second epilogue was so freaking cute and really made the book worth it. I wouldn’t listen again but it wasn’t terrible and I’m going to keep going with the series anyway.

Much like the other Bridgerton books I enjoyed reading very much, I really liked Sophie and the Cinderella retelling of the story was very fun, although Benedict drove me absolutely mad during some of the novel, especially when he didn’t understand why Sophie didn’t want to agree to his initial suggestion, if you know what I mean. Anyway I still enjoyed it and can’t wait to see their season on the show and I really hope we see some of Posy as well, as her relationship is super sweet and I wish we got more of her.

Look. I know I said it before, but I’m going to say it again: THIS one is my favorite book of the series! Benedict has been my favorite brother since the first season and this book did not disappoint! 

All the siblings are present but it’s so nice to see Benedict shine. It was so sweet to see him open up about his role in his family and his desires to be known as something other than “Bridgerton Number 2”. And I absolutely adored seeing him fall first; it felt like a very “Benedict” thing to happen.

Sophie Beckett is a force to be reckoned with and a perfect match for Benedict. She is fierce, strong willed, and very much so her own person, regardless of her social standing. She is quick witted (like the rest of the Bridgerton women) and not afraid to have her own thoughts. Her story is touching and heartbreaking and you can’t help but love her yourself. 

I can’t swoon enough about Benedict and this book. I finished it in two days and have been talking myself out of devouring the rest of the series for fear of total obsession. I’ve got a LOT to say about the second season of Bridgerton and the fact that they’re pushing Colin’s season up, but I can only hope that when they get to Benedict’s story, it’s done as well as it’s written in this book.
