A funny read. Funny how romantic it is but also funny how cringey I found some of that romance. But that is coming from someone who’s already seen the Netflix series and that’s difficult to ignore. It has a perfectly selected cast, music and decor. They even attempted to make it more interesting by changing up the story a bit, they also made it spicier, more romantic, more complex. But I enjoyed hearing the real story here and imagining how it just wouldn’t have made a series as dramatic as the one we have now. So a 3/5 from me, I think if someone’s about to be a Bridgerton fan, they have to start from this book (and probably the rest) and then go ahead with the show. I have to admit, seeing as how this book was written in a way almost too simple to be enjoyable, it’s going to take me some time to recover from it and get the courage to listen to the second one. It didn’t captivate me, so I might just do it out of curiosity to see how the real story goes forward.

A witty, cute and quick romance read. Just make sure you leave the feminist in you at the front door as otherwise you would be rather annoyed by some parts of the story. I had to remind myself this several times while reading the book 😂
