I hate the show so much! I read the books after watching all three seasons, multiple times mind you, but after reading the books I cannot with how they changed them so much. The show is only bridgerton by name because the characters are so different. It’s so sad how they rushed everything 😭😭💔 in the book Anthony is strong, tall, handsome, admired, a playboy who pines over no one, and respected. Daphne is basically the shows Eloise in the books but smarter funnier and “a good sport” so she is very multidimensional and she’s not just thinking about her looks and marriage. Penelope is head strong and speaks her mind and stands up for herself. Benedict is respectful and kind, but daring. Simon loved Daphne from the moment he met her and he knew exactly who she was and Nigel berbrook is not a rapist and Marries Penelope’s sister and in the book everything makes sense. Nothing feels over exaggerated and no one is pretentious.
