MsMojo Notes: Romancing Mr. Bridgerton

I admit, I took the 16th off from work to binge watch the fisrt 4 😅

In the book she calls him out when he says he will never marry her. “I never asked you to marry me.”

It now makes sense why Cressida got a spotlight in first four episodes of season 3. Excited for next 4 episodes, sounds like they’ll be fun!

I'm so excited that Penelope and Colin's romance is taking centre stage this season. Nicola and Luke have the best chemistry, and you can tell that they really like and respect each other in real life. ❤

I do really wish that they had stayed somewhat close to the book's timeline as Penelope was much older and many of her decisions in the book were based on her situation of being much older and having an unrequited love for Colin. Some following character motivations were also partially inspired by Benedict's love story, so it's a bit sad to miss some of these things.

this is the first book series that I've read before the shows!! Excited to see how its going to play out. I hope the show has its own charm and is able to keep up with the amazingness of the book!! :D

I think to the end of Season 3, we're gonna see the ball where Benedict meets Sophie, and obviously, we're gonna have to wait with him for their story to be unmasked.

1:40 Actually no, in the story’s Regency setting Penelope’s proclamation is not ridiculous at all — aristocratic girls back then started looking for a husband and got married at 17-18 years old, so a girl who was still unmarried at 22-23y.o. (meaning 5-6 years after her debut into society) was absolutely and very much considered a spinster and out of the (marriage) game….Penelope’s statement is really quite spot on. Most importantly her statement is absolutely 1000% historically accurate; check any *non-fiction* history book (and no, Jane Austen's novels are not history books....they're romantic fiction, which means they’re not accurate despite having been written in the same era) and you'll see for yourselves -- why historians and history professors see most of today's historical romance novels as nothing but drivel. *In the regency (and victorian) age girls did get married before reaching 20 years old, at 21-22 they were already viewed as in “decline” and were unanimously considered spinsters by 23-24y.o. onwards. Debutantes were very much expected to find a suitor and get married within their first or second season, as the longer it took to find a match the lesser chances they had to actually find not just a worthy one (the primary and final goal) but one at all since every new season brought in a crowd of new younger and fresher girls.* If you think it sounds like a market, it’s because it was. The label “the marriage market” is not something invented by romance writers.

Of course i agree. Happy tuesday afternoon, Kirsten. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

Feels like they randomly chose clips from the show to insert between talking points. Countless clips make zero sense

I love this post. Thank you! One correction is that Colin told his stupid friends he would never court, Penelope, not his brothers.

🎉I find your YouTube videos are great and amazing 🎉

CLICK HERE if you came to the video to make sure they get details correct because you’re an OG book fan!!! 😅😉😘

I haven't watched Bridgerton since season 1. Just saw last episode, season 3. I am excited for Colin and Penelope romance and pending marriage!! I will be watching again.🤩

YES YES YES PLEASE. Book 3❤

Love them all

I was up at 3:30am band binged the first half

cant wait :D

I sure hope that Penelope will not be Lady Whistleton and start a new life with Colin and being away from her family

Didn't Penelope ask for the kiss after she read his journal and hurt his hand?????
