Algo lento al principio de la novela. Podría decir que tuve dificultad a adentrarme en la historia, no fue hasta el 60% que pude escucharla más rápido. Igual que la primera novela en la serie, esta es diferente a la versión de Netflix. El contenido es mucho menos gráfico que en la serie y es mas decente. Prefiero la versión libro que la serie. No conecté mucho con la pareja, creo que me gustó más Simon y Daphne que Anthony y Kate. Pero puedo decir que Anthony y Kate tienen momentos que yo hubiera preferido verlos en la serie porque fueron muy buenos.

I absolutely adored this book! It was interesting to see the major changes they made to Kate and Anthony’s story in the Bridgerton show! I liked seeing their friendship develop more in the book and of course their banter!

Anthony Bridgerton is the worst man. I wanted to curbstomp him the entire book. Jonathan Bailey deserves a medal for making him a likeable complex character in the show... Love my older, parentified daughter representation, Kate Sheffield though!

I liked this book WAY more than the first one. despite both books having the same general formula (
man with daddy issues finds woman he thinks is attractive but won't marry her because said issues make him think he's unworthy of her love, then he's forced to marry her after he loses control and ruins her. queue 1000 instances of miscommunication
), these characters have personality!!! it makes it way more enjoyable that way, despite how annoyed I was with the constant use of the miscommunication trope. I actually enjoyed some scenes equally to the show, which i LOVE, like
kate's fear of storms (SPECIFICALLY the library scene), her relationship with Mary, and all the Newton scenes!!


however, -2 stars for overuse of miscommunication (can you tell I hate when this trope is overused yet?) and having a super generic formula
