I love the show Bridgerton so I loved reading the first book and seeing the differences and getting more of the story. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series, eventually.

the homoerotic tension between you, an emotionally constipated duke with daddy issues, and your wife’s brother, an equally emotionally constipated 28-year-old man with small dick energy 🤩

that was 12 hours of my life I’ll never get back </3 I’ll miss Simon’s ICY blue eyes very deeply

⭐⭐⭐⭐  

This was my second attempt at reading this book; I decided to give the audiobook a try while waiting for the second half of season 4 to be released, and I actually quite enjoyed it! 

Simon's character arc was charming and Daphne's growing understanding of the world was well-written and funny at times. There were definitely some gray areas concerning consent in this story, but I think it was done well and in as realistic a fashion as the rest of the book. I was a bit surprised at how Whistledown was portrayed, mostly just through short blurbs at the beginning of chapters and in character dialogue, because she is rather pervasive in the show. 

Overall, I rather enjoyed this book, but am unsure if I will continue on with the series, as Regency-era Romance is not in my typical wheelhouse.
