TO SIR PHILLIP, WITH LOVE (NETFLIX TIE-IN): BRIDGERTONS BOOK 5

I guess I am in love with Julia Quinn and her storytelling for sure, five books back to back, and each one is turning out better than the last one. This has never happened with me in the past with any writer. Even Mr King couldn’t continue his magic as I left reading his books (19 on a trot) last year and haven’t picked up even one this year from him so far. Bridgerton, as going by the TV adaptation, is the story(s) of 8 Bridgerton kids, this one is based on one of my favourite Bridgerton daughters, Eloise :). How she falls in love with, especially the way she falls for Sir Philip, writing letters to each other, which lasts about a year before she decides to run away to him, much to his amazement, without informing him in time. On top of that, Sir Philip is not only a recently widowed man but has a set of 8-year-old twins, too. Now, imagine the scene when her four brothers locate her and gatecrash at Sir Philip’s house to find their sister with a black eye :O What they do to him, I will leave that to your imagination to read for yourself, and how it all ends is amazing. As all her earlier stories have gone, this one too made me swoon, go all mushy mush in love with the way she writes her characters, but I missed Mrs Whistledown big time in this one since her cover is blown, guess she won’t be making an entry in any upcoming stories as well. So far, this is the best from the series, as I am yet to get the balance three and one add-on, which she has written to end the series. I will certainly get back if those change my favourite from the series. Do let me know if you have read this one and loved it. If not, which one is your favourite Bridgerton book? TV adaptation is total crap.

👍

I think I've loved all the Julia Quinn books I've read, so it comes as no surprise that I loved this one. What I loved best for this one is that marriage is not the end of the story, or a fairytale for Eloise, but a well educated decision (as far as Viscount Bridgerton would allow), and it's only the beginning of the story. I love that Eloise never stops being her and doesn't turn into "married and silent" even after becoming Lady Crane. PS I think I loved Colin more in this book than I did in his own book PPS did you know Eloise names her daughter Penelope? 😭💗

Excellent read

I love every book of this series and this is no exception. Leave aside the intricate relationship and how it grows between Eloise and Phillip, or that between the children and Phillip...they will always be close to the heart, but the essence of this series comes out in the interaction between the Bridgerton siblings! Those moments are jewels in the crown! The easy and humourous banter, and the deep love between each of them are treasures to be cherished. I would go back to each of these books only for those moments between the siblings!

The writing is repetitive

It's my favourite novel. The pages were good and the printing quality was also quit. No damages on cover so yeah it's Worth it

I loveee eloisee so so much! Super excited to read this one
