**edit.... im re-rating this higher. i cannot in good conscious leave this rating to be the same as majority of the bridgerton books ive read. this was a fun time!

Thank you to book club for forcing me to finally read this and watch the movie 🎉

It goes without saying that a lot of the lessons in this book are gravely outdated. Part 2 had a lot of bits that I really just couldn't reconcile with - Age gaps, preaching on how to be a lady, how to make a happy home with your husband and kids, etc etc. ...more

A beautiful little slice of life!
had some issues with it such as the preachy nature of some of the earlier chapters, and don't even get me started on the "lessons" to be taken from Meg's marriage T.T
of course, these are just products of their time so it can't really be helped.
obvi was super invested in the whole jo/laurie/amy situation because its just SO wild! so kudos to that fun bit of drama!
7/10 (3.5 but i prefer out of ten systems, puts the numbers in better perspective to me lol) ...more
