A funny thing happened...

Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love. And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except...

She wasn’t the one. In fact, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love. With Gregory! Except...

Lucy is engaged. And her uncle is not inclined to let her back out of the betrothal, even once Gregory comes to his senses and realizes that it is Lucy, with her sharp wit and sunny smile, who makes his heart sing. And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar...


My rating:

Gregory Bridgerton knows what love looks like. He only has to look at his seven brothers and sisters and their happily besotted marriages. So he wants the same for himself, and although young, is ready to embrace it. Unfortunately, he falls for the one woman who couldn't care less about him, but luckily he has her best friend in his corner to help him out...

An utterly disappointing ending to the Bridgerton series. Overly long, overly complicated, rather boring in fact, with mediocre protagonists, mediocre twists and turns (not even the final few chapters could redeem that, and a severe lack of the rest of Gregory's family, hence a severe lack of humor.

I hope that when Netflix comes around to this one, they make me change my mind. Until then...blah.
