Reviews with content warning for Suicide attempt - To Sir Phillip, With Love: Bridgerton

I loved this book. Phillip and Eloise were puzzle pieces for each other but I like that it took them awhile to figure that out. I love seeing the romances progress after marriage. I really enjoyed the scenes with Amanda and Oliver. “If you don’t know what you want, be patient. It will come to you.”

I really liked Eloise's story! It dealt with darker themes than the previous 4, which gave this book a bit more depth I feel. Their love story wasn't a whirlwind or traditional but more of a suble, slow buildup of a beautiful bond. Such a good read.

Thought I would grow to like Eloise's love interest after hearing more of his back story, but I can't stand him.

Tw: noncon, child abuse, mention of post partum depression below

• said he hadn't had sex in a long time and went to visit wife marina. "She didn't say no," (I think the implication was PPD) but seemed disinterested. He felt awful afterwards, which is a *great* excuse (sarcasm)

• the kids are terrified of him. "His" son asks, upon getting in trouble, "are you going to hit us?" And Philip is a menacing presence to them, and doesn't know how to parent them. Like even if you have never hit your kid(s) (which Eloise is convinced that she's *such* a good judge of character, despite only meeting this guy within the last week, that Phillip could *never* abuse his kids), they shouldn't be terrified that you're going to. End of sentence. No, wait: fuck this guy. Now end of sentence.

• spoiler, the "reasoning" for this is eventually that his father was horribly abusive towards him, and Phillip is trying not to be like him. Cool reason, bro. I get that therapy was not a huge thing back then (assuming) but my god. Work on yourself to not be like your father.
