Definitely not my favorite in the Bridgerton universe. After reading the second installment in this prequel series I had such high hopes for this book and was disappointed. It's not that its bad, I just feel like so much more could've been done with the storyline. I really appreciate feminism and progressive thinking, but some of it felt a bit forced to me, maybe I'm just too hyper-focused on realism in a little romance novel that's just for fun. I do like the two main characters a lot though, Nicholas is a wonderful man and Georgie has just the right amount of spunk, they truly were made for eachother. I wish we got more flashbacks to their childhood memories, but then again I guess they really weren't anything special to each other back then, no more than friends at least.
