chantaal 's review for:

The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
3.0

I don't think there's much to say that hasn't been said already in terms of the main problematic element in this book. Knowing it existed made it easier to read through, though Kill Bill sirens starting going off when I got to that scene.

Anyway! This is great fun! I can see why this series was made into a TV show, and both are incredibly fun in their own ways. Everything is very light and fun and makes for a breezy read when you just want to turn your brain off and enjoy yourself. I LOVED the Bridgerton sibling dynamics a lot more than the story itself, though I think that is mostly my fault for reading the book after having watched the TV show.

I'm writing this review after having already started in on [b:The Viscount Who Loved Me|861326|The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons, #2)|Julia Quinn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1379594308l/861326._SY75_.jpg|3363], and I'm enjoying the series as a whole so far.
