An Offer From a Gentleman: Bridgerton Book 3 by Julia Quinn

Kindle edition

On the Bridgerton bandwagon - third book and counting. I started this book on December 5 and finished it on December 10.

In all honesty, these two things are true:

1. I liked this book

2. This book annoyed me

Like with the other Bridgerton books, I tore through this one. From the outset, something about this book perturbed me. Obviously I kept on reading. But something bothered me. It was probably the 2nd night of reading that I realized that this was basically an exact replica of the Cinderella story but in a Bridgerton wrapper. That's what annoyed me. Couldn't Julia Quinn come up with an original story for Benedict? Why did she need to recreate Cinderella? Ugh.

Of course the book was good. And to me, it was also annoying. I still want to see the story come to life in the Netflix series though.
