Character development is developed throughout the book series so you get to know all characters well.

Overall I enjoyed this whole series but I don't understand how the entire 'ton learns that Penelope is Lady Whistledown and we never talk about it again and never hear how members of the 'Ton reacted.

***Re-read 2021***
When watching the second or the third episode of the Netflix series I've realised that I've read the book some years ago and decided to re-read it to refresh the memory. I finished by re-reading the entire series.
Well, the books are rather typical for the genre. There is a loose historical time frame with all the aristocratic and powerful families, there is a love story with lots of emotions and some less or more steamy sex scenes. And for a smart and unprejudiced reader there are some moral and ethical topics to think about that are very relevant today.
The particular advantage of this series is the recurring allusions to all sorts of classical phrases from Jane Austen to XX century politicians. The disadvantage is the plot. I understand that it is difficult to put together five different stories that are still linked by the place, the time and, more importantly, by the protagonists being siblings. And yet, whereas [b:The Duke and I|110391|The Duke and I (Bridgertons, #1)|Julia Quinn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1379594717l/110391._SY75_.jpg|846763] and [b:To Sir Phillip, With Love|110386|To Sir Phillip, With Love (Bridgertons, #5)|Julia Quinn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1274211519l/110386._SY75_.jpg|13341300] do stand out as more well developed, the others are too simple and even somewhat ridiculous even for this undemanding genre - I forgot the content on the next morning.

[DNF at book 9]
I had to check my feminism at the door for this entire series. Book 8 I finally felt we had a less problematic main character, then Gregory broke into Lucy’s house in the middle of the night.

Overall review;
Definitely a re-read series. I fell in love with Julia Quinn while I fell in love with her characters, her writing is phenomenal, from the romance to the frustrating moments. All of the books were a can't-put-it-down-something-is-about-to-happen vibes and they made me either scream, cry or get so mad that i throw the book on the other side of the room. All of them had me hooked from the beginning to the end, and while I didn't love every single moment, the moments which I did made up for the whole book.
I literally feel like I've lost my best friend . I can't tell you how much I love these books.The talent that Julia Quinn possesses blows my mind! My heart aches with the loss of these character, but they truly will live forever in my heart.
I dont even know what to do with my life now, will cry forever and will definitely drown in my tears.
Julia Quinn did an amazing job and all I can do is thank her for this amazing experience. Will definitely read more of her books.
Honorable mentions: Obrigada Little por ter me acompanhado nessa jornada, vc nao vai ser esquecido, vc durou tanto e fez meus momentos com a Julia Quinn 10x melhor, e por isso vou guardar vc desse jeitinho sem usar mais, pra quando eu ler outro livro dela vc ta la pra me acompanhar. perfeito te amo, desculpa por ter deixado vc cair e ter te perdido varias vezes, vc eh um otimo marcador de páginas
