A review by jenniluck
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
3.0
So, I first saw the show and after that I began reading the books. It's really hard to see the two seperate, so this review is gonna be all over the place. Sorry about that.
I LOVE Penelope. Since season 1, she has been my favorite character and I couldn't wait to read this book. In comparison to the show, there were things I liked and there were things I didn't like.
Things I didn't like:
1. The fact that Penelope gave up Lady Whistledown in the book. It's her life work. I don't get why she's not writing Whistledown anymore.
2. The fact that Colin is always hungry for food. Maybe I didn't get the joke, but he's so much more than a hungry boy (no pun intended).
3. Colin is the one who reveals Penelope's secret that she is Lady Whistledown. One of my favorite scenes in the show is that SHE's the one who is in control of telling her secret and story.
4. I missed the fact that Colin calls Penelope Pen. 5. Colin is not very likeable in the book.
Things I did like:
1. The relationship between Penelope en Eloise. Eloise is proud of her for being Lady Whistledown and she feels happy that Penelope is marrying her brother.
2. Hyacinth. I loved her character in this book. I can not wait to read her book one day.
3. The relationship between Lady Danbury and Penelope. That could've been so much more in the show.
4. The carriage scene.
I really liked reading this book, it made me love the show and Penelope even more.
