colin is redeemed for me by two things: one, that he admits to himself that he's jealous of penelope's success and is ashamed of himself for being jealous, and two, that he is not his loathsome brother benedict.

the critiques that many others have had for this book are mine as well. it's disappointing to see colin's lack of support for penelope, it's disappointing to watch her give up an incredibly successful career to support him, colin is whiny and flat, and the lady whistledown drama is given a lot of airtime that may have been better spent on the couple.

somehow, anthony remains my favorite bridgerton brother - gregory, good luck. honestly, i've missed the sisters, and i'm eager to move onto eloise's book.
