Yes, I jumped on the Bridgerton bandwagon (books and series) and loved every minute of it. I started this book on April 13 and finished it on April 17 and loved every minute of it.
This book introduces us to the generation or two before the family we know from the Netflix series. We meet Billie Bridgerton (the older sister of Edmund of Violet & Edmund Bridgerton). This is her story.
Typical (and I don't mean that negatively) of Julia Quinn's stories, we learn of Billie's life and how she fell in love with, maybe someone unexpected, though not really unexpected all that much.
I loved the opening with Billie and the cat. It was pretty funny and I could totally visualize how it went down. It reminded me a little of one of the old Anne of Green Gables episodes from the PBS version when Anne hurt her ankle (fell into a well, I think?). Regardless, I really love Julia Quinn's writing style, her character development, and the storylines in each of the books.
I got the last 3 Bridgerton books in a combo book on my kindle and was sad when I finished what I thought was the last one. Then realized that the 3rd book in the combo was one I hadn't read yet. Then realized it was the prequel-ish. And now know that there are a treasure trove of other books by Julia Quinn just waiting for me (and you!) to read!
