Yikes yikes yikes. All I really enjoyed was that this book gave us the introduction to the bridgerton world.
Daphne raped her husband, there’s not much more to say, much more explicitly so than in the show.
I found both of them to be annoying and wasn’t rooting for them. Simon was seriously traumatized by his upbringing, but Daphne magically solved it? Also, I hated how possessive Simon was, how he owned her.
