Book 41 of 52: The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn

August 24, 2023 / Jen Miller / /

After two somewhat heavy reads, I wanted to dip into something easier, and it couldn’t get any lighter than The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn.

Each romance novel in the Bridgerton series comes with an epilogue, where we get a jump forward in time to see how our love birds are doing in their happily ever after. This book is a collection of “2nd epilogues,” where Quinn either fills in a gap in a couple’s story, or gives another update on their lives.

Most of these novellas have been published already, and I know I’ve read a few, but still: it’s fine. It was nice to sink into a nice, fluffy book for a little while, especially since I found this copy for free. I don’t know if I’d pay for it, but I’m not mad I picked it up and did a quick update on some of my favorite characters from the Bridgerton literary universe.

I know I’ve said this on the blog before, but not every book we read needs to be a piece of Serious Literature. I appreciate those books, and even review them sometimes! But book candy is good too. Reading can be fun — I encourage it!
