Listened enough to know the plot of the show. Felt way too long and wasn’t interested in the ending.

I loved this book! It quickly and easily became my favorite of the Bridgerton books I have read so far. Colin and Penelope’s story is beautiful - and relatable to those who find themselves feeling discarded and on the outskirts of love like Penelope Featherington. I could easily read an entire series of books solely about Colin and Penelope.

Je l’ai écouté en audiobook.

J’ai eu du mal avec le début, puis à la moitié j’ai commencé à adorer. En fait, Pénélope est trop présentée comme « grosse=moche=pas digne d’être aimée ». Je grossis un peu le tout mais c’est plus ou moins ça. Elle perd du poids, et soudain Colin la remarque. Tout le monde s’en étonne, Colin le premier. Je sais que c’est certainement représentatif de l’époque (années 1820 quand même) et que donc écrire quelque chose de différent serait anachronique, mais je ne peux m’empêcher d’être peinée à la lecture de ces descriptions.
Il y a tout l’aspect lié à Lady Whistledown que j’ai trouvé très intéressant, puis Colin est quand même très chouette avec Pénélope. J’ai aimé leurs interactions (après le début), leur manière de se pousser l’un l’autre vers leurs objectifs.
Je suis trop contente d’avoir pu découvrir leur histoire avant la sortie de la prochaine saison !!
