Finally finished the Bridgerton series! This last one wasn't great, and pretty convoluted, even for a historical romance. As a fan of the show, I was a bit bummed that I didn't love the series - Julia Quinn just isn't my favorite author in this genre. But a couple of the books (Benedict's and Hyacinth's - honorable mentions to Eloise's and Francesca's) were pretty good. And while Shonda Rhimes does some real heavy lifting to turn the Bridgerton books into the intriguing & beautiful TV series it is, I feel like at least one book - Colin's - was actually a better book than TV season. (The book was more straightforward and Colin was way less annoying than in the show that season.) As a book-first nerd, I'm glad I finally caught up with the books, but I'm not sure I'd necessarily recommend them, unless you're a book purist and really like the show. But now I'm really looking forward to Benedict's story next season!
