The storyline is based initially on Cinderella, which is actually fine - it’s adapted with enough point of difference to feel fresh and interesting, however the choice of that option feels rather lazy.

- The masquerade opening is so good! And the tension between them from the jump!!!
- Two year time jump omg
- The almost grape scene was anxiety inducing but my guy had to be the one to stop it!!!
- Why in the hell does Benedict have a rock collection, but love it that he does paint in the books. Her seeing he painted a picture of her is 😍
- Him saying ‘Kiss Me’ throughout the night - they better keep this in the show
- The ‘under your nose’ troupe
- End of chapter 11 and my guy is down baddddd LFG
- Recreating the pond scene is a MUST for the next series.
- Chapter 17 🗣️ LFGGGGG
- Sophie working in the Bridgerton house is almost like playing house for what her life could be like with Benedict. 🥲🥲🥲
- Benedict is a bit possessive at times and does a lot of voice raising.
- It taking as long as it did for him to realize Sophie was the woman from the ball is insane. It only happening because she was wearing a blindfold with kids 🙄
- Violet getting onto Benedict and Colin for not marrying is like finalyyyyyy
- I now understand all of the “Violet loves a wallflower because she was” since they mention it a lot in this novel.
- OMG The Penelope/Colin scene that is pivotal in their book actually happened here!!! It also being a conversation between brothers makes it a bit less evil/vile as compared to the show that was among other members of the ton.
- Anthony showing his soft spot for Penelope when she walked her home after Colin’s cock up
- In the back half of the book I like the brothers meeting up and having scenes. Colin fencing is cute.
- The absolute drama of Sophie fleeing the Bridgeton home to then be thrown in jail. I hope they keep this in the show because it gets so many people in one place for a lot of declarations!
- I wish we got a proper proposal scene, but I do like the jump to fiancé that Benedict makes while Sophie is behind bars. Imagining Luke Thompson putting his hands through the bar to hold Sophie’s face!!!
- Lady Bridgerton taking in Posy is so wholesome.
- The nod in the epilogue to revealing Lady Whistledown 😏
