Before we get moving on this review, I feel it necessary to confess that I read this on a Friday night while drinking, and I'm quite sure this colored my view of the book because I was, as I recall, quite tipsy for parts of it.
Which may actually be a good thing. I mean, this book follows Romancing Mister Bridgerton, and that book was amazing. I started reading this one and wanted to reread RMB. (And that wasn't the alcohol talking.) That's a hard act to follow.
But this one. Eloise's part of the story here actually begins in Romancing Mister Bridgerton, so I was quite looking forward to picking To Sir Phillip, With Love up. (Also, thanks Daphne for lending it.) And though I found the conflict to be... oh, I don't know, more on the tame side, I still enjoyed the book. Especially the brothers.
But how could you not love the Bridgerton brothers? That is a big part of why this series is so much fun.
So. Phillip and Eloise. And the children. I loved seeing Eloise interact with them and find a way to bring Sir Phillip and his kids together. That was sweet and not completely angsty (which I find weird saying that I wanted more angst), but again, a big part of the plot.
Oh. But. I adored the awkwardness between Sir Phillip and Eloise when they met for the first time. A lot of parallels to meeting people online. Totally different experience! It was adorable. And now I need the rest of the Bridgerton series.
