Some parts made me feel annoyed (while I got their dilemma, all they had to do was talk and not run away at every chance they get) and uncomfortable (no verbal consent during one of their rated scenes).
I didn’t like Michael pressuring her to agree to his proposal. As if he wasn’t always facing his own dilemma. His bursts of anger were odd too. I don’t think we even got a proper explanation. We don’t get to see John as much as we do with Michael, but John was definitely a better man.
I really loved the moments between Francesca with all the women. Especially the ones with the Bridgerton ladies. Hyacinth was hilarious. Book Francesca and show Francesca are pretty similar so it was easy to picture the actress while reading this.
P.S the scene at John’s grave made me cry tho. So there’s that. 🥲
