I enjoyed this book and think it’s a great start to the Bridgerton series. I was inspired to read after watching the first couple seasons of the Netflix show inspired by the books. There are some clear differences between the two but I enjoyed getting to see such an in depth look at what drives the characters to be who they are and act the ways they do. I felt as though the stutter storyline that plagued Simon was very interesting and gave his character lots of depth.
