This book is awful. Glorifies treating women poorly and literal physical violence and intimidation.

aishoka's review against another edition

All of the books in this series have been pretty misogynistic but this one is so bad I just couldn't finish it.

Me leí esto porque quería saber más sobre Polin después de la serie, y me lo he tomado como si fuera un fanfic porque la verdad es que el libro no me parece la gran cosa.

 Está guay ver qué escenas/diálogos son sacados tal cual en la serie, y algún momento extra bonito, pero sin más.

Listen. I know the Bridgerton books are bad. They are poorly written and problematic in their portrayal of romantic relationships. But I need to pass the time between the release of part 1 and part 2 of season 3, ok?? Just let me enjoy this garbage of a romance novel in peace while I wait for the far superior tv adaptation to be available for streaming!
