Man we had such a SOLID start but then the weird power dynamics came in and were so unnecessary and Sophie was just the absolute WORST with her miscommunication (I'm not going to be a liar, but let me lie literally every time I open my mouth OKAY SOPHIE). This was absolutely Violet Bridgerton's best book tho. She knocked it out of the park at the end. It's not the worst pill to swallow when one is attempting to binge an entire romance series, but there are better romances out there.
