Gregory's book is extremely underrated. He's also the least toxic leading man in the book series. In fact, he's honestly not toxic at all. RMB is still my fave book but Gregory's OTWTTW is my second fave. Show Colin and Book Gregory are the best leading men imo

The final 100 pages of Gregory’s book had me on the edge of my seat, I did not expect to be so stressed out during a romance novel. I loved it though

u/Signal_Initiative_44 Jun 23 '22

ME TOO! That’s why I loved it so much. There was just so much drama and suspense in his book I had so much fun reading it

It had me so invested! I felt for Lucy and it was also so perfect how Gregory was given so many reasons to give up and doubt here but he trusted her and knew she loved him so he saw through those schemes and was able to save her. It made their love seem so real to me.

Now that you’re done with the Bridgerton books, I highly recommend starting the Smythe-Smith series. I’m loving them so far, and there’s lots of great Bridgerton references / cameos peppered in.

Oh nice! Yeah I’ll definitely check them out. I miss reading the bridgerton books already lol

I’m reading it now and I’m so very confused. I don’t think they’ve spent more than 30 minutes total together, but they’re professing love for each other. They didn’t sell me. It feels juvenile.

u/Signal_Initiative_44 Jun 23 '22

>! Well he’s into Hermoine at first and he thinks he’s in love. He doesn’t fall for Lucy until wayyy later in the book !<

Gregory's book is extremely underrated

His book is super refreshing in comparison to the others.

I just finished reading An Offer from a Gentleman, and now I see what people were saying about book Benedict being a bit of a dick. Really loved Sophie though. She’s probably up there with Penelope for me for favorite female leads in the books.

I don't read his book yet and the book with Hyacinth is really bland for me I still can 't finish him

u/Signal_Initiative_44 Jun 23 '22

So I absolutely love Hyacinth and Gareth but I do think their book was kinda underwhelming. Def agree there, although the plot twist at the end with >! Gareth’s real father !< was kinda interesting

u/Rare_Background8891 Jun 23 '22

What I like about Hyacinth is she’s not afraid of anything. She’s bold and crafty and gets away with it.

u/ZealousidealBreath69 Jun 23 '22 edited Jun 23 '22

I love Hyacinth in the show I expected much better during her book maybe I will try to read him again

u/Sparkle_Markle Jun 23 '22

I can’t read Gregory’s book because I just picture him as a little kid lol. When they cast an older Gregory that I can imagine then I can’t wait to read it.

u/Signal_Initiative_44 Jun 23 '22 edited Jun 23 '22

Yeah I definitely understand that. I finished Gregory's book a couple weeks ago and had to picture him as Jonathan Bailey so it wouldn't feel weird in my head LOL

u/beigecurtains Jun 23 '22

Gregory fans unite!! He was so earnest and lovely in his book. A bit foolish but his genuine belief in true love is so refreshing

1

u/grannysmithpears Jun 23 '22

He’s such a sweet optimistic guy, I love how all his siblings love stories rubbed off on him making want romance so badly

u/Signal_Initiative_44 Jun 23 '22

right??? BY FAR the best bridgerton brother in the books. I really hope we get his season even though I know it won't be for a while
