Now we're at Francesca's story. This one touches on loss and grief more than some of the others in the series, and I felt it was handled well. The relationship did feel a little imbalanced to me -- I didn't quite see Francesca connect to Michael the same way he loved her. 

Also, I don't like that every Bridgerton book has at least one scene where a man decides he knows best what a woman wants/needs/should do, which makes me wonder how differently these books would be written today... Still, the Bridgerton books continue to be fun, quick reads.
