Actual rating: 3.5 
 What sets this book apart from the others in the series is just how fun it is! There isn't much angst between Hyacinth and Gareth, but more of a bantery friendship, which I adored. I love how much Gareth appreciates and respects her opinions and outspokenness because Hyacinth is an absolute delight. There's also a diary story line that added a playfulness to the book. 
 Mostly everything I enjoyed, but there is a decision Gareth makes towards the climax of the book that was uncomfortable and just unnecessary to the story. 
 Can't believe I have only one more book in the Bridgerton series! That makes me incredibly sad!
