So far my favourite book of those written by Jane Austen :) It‘s not as funny as Pride and Prejudice or Emma and not as light, too. Instead it is a great story about a young woman and her family, a portrait of very different characters and some of the social differences of that time.
It filled my heart with heavy emotions and made it break so many times during reading it, but it was worth it.
!! I just want to add a trigger warning for people sensitive to self harm, suicide and abuse. !!
My favourite book of this series so far. I adore Penelope and also this one didn‘t have too many cringe-y parts in it
I don‘t really want to say much about this book (series) except... are the straights okay? Do they really find this kind of behaviour tolerable or even romantic?
The people in this series (especially the men) are written like usually well behaved but hormonal animals.
I like the parts about society and plot twists and turns, the banter and quarrels within the Bridgerton family and some modern views that seep through all the glistening.
But the „sex driven hormonal animal“ parts and the „I am a man, you must do as I say and if not, I‘ll find a way“ behaviour kind of ruin the fun for me.
