And then, and then, AND THEN… Julia Quinn’s An Offer from a Gentleman, continued! Starting with THAT SCENE with the Bridgerton brothers and Penelope Featherington, we examine class and social standing with only a moderate amount of uncalled for hilarity, consider consent, privilege, dreams, different kinds of bravery and the subversion of romance in this incredibly romantic third book in the Bridgerton series. Also: Yes, we lied last episode, Anthony is actually in this book! And all of our book recs are in the show notes and will be on social media and our website.
In two weeks: Part 1 of our ultimate favorite, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton!
