While many people view Colin as spoiled and whiny, he was much less so than Benedict, in my opinion. At least he knew his own problems: first a lack of profession (or at least occupation), then
I liked the unrequited, friends-to-lovers aspect of their romance, and how they each brought out the best in each other. Other members of the ton get a bit more room in the book, but some of it simply takes away from the story, like Hyacinth's tirade on "sticking like glue" to Penelope (did Quinn forget Hyacinth was now of marriage age, no longer an annoying child?) and the Featherington family
All in all, I thought it was one of the better of the series, though the phenomenal narration and acting helped enhance some of the duller parts. While Anthony and Kate will probably always be my favorite, I doubt another story will knock Colin and Penelope out of an easy 2nd place.
Moderate: Body shaming, Bullying, and Sexual content
