Cucumber sandwiches! Kidnapping! Boring sex! Lydia and Taylor rant about cardboard characters, crappy brothers and dumb friends in Julia Quinn’s 8th Bridgerton novel, On the Way to the Wedding. Wild happenings in an orangery, tying a crush to a toilet, and a lot of talk about love and sandwiches... Look, listeners, we’re really not fans of this one.
We’ll be back in a few weeks to discuss the first episode of Bridgertons!
