About the author

Julia Quinn

197 books46.3k followers
#1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance, and and if you watch reruns of the game show The Weakest Link you might just catch her winning the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code.

A graduate of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, Ms. Quinn is one of only sixteen members of Romance Writers of America’s Hall of Fame. Her books have been translated into 32 languages, and she lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.

The Bridgertons, her popular series of historical romance, is currently in production by Shondaland as a Netflix original series starring Julie Andrews, Phoebe Dynevor, and Rége-Jean Page.

It seemed to tiresome to go through and log each of these books (or maybe I’m just embarrassed to add 8 historical romance novels to my “read” list), so I’m just going to summarize my experience with the Bridgerton series here by saying these are exactly the kind of frothy, delicious “guilty pleasure” reads I wanted to spend my late spring days devouring. It’s decided: no shame in my game!

Alcuni mi sono piaciuti di più, altri meno, qualcuno è sopravvissuto, qualcun'altro sottovalutato. Certe aspettative sono state troppe e quelle poche invece si sono rivelate sbagliate. Ho preferito tra tutti, come storia profonda Francesca, come donna Hyacinth, Benedict mi ha fatto rivedere la storia di cenerentola, Gregory invece è il romanticismo in persona. Ho apprezzato meno Colin, mi aspettavo molto di più da lui; Eloise, l'aspettativa ha deluso la realtà; Anthony, era ciò che ti aspettavi da un primo genito e da ciò che era il suo dovere nella famiglia; Daphne, è un Ni.
In linea generale, Bridgerton è una di quelle serie che ti tiene in bilico, lasciandoti con il dubbio se ti sia davvero piaciuta o se semplicemente sia riuscita a catturarti quel tanto che basta per non abbandonarla. Ha, però, il grande pregio di essere fresca, leggera e ricca di quel mix di allegria e romanticismo che invita a sognare. Il periodo storico in cui è ambientata è quello che tutte, almeno una volta, vorremmo rivivere: un'epoca fatta di gentiluomini impeccabili, con un profondo senso del dovere e una gentilezza innata.
Non mancano, poi, le sfumature di ribellione contro le convenzioni sociali e le rigide etichette, che aggiungono una piacevole dose di modernità alla narrazione. "Bridgerton" ha tutti gli ingredienti per essere una serie comfort: perfetta per evadere dalla realtà e lasciarsi trasportare in un mondo di sogni. Pur non raggiungendo forse le vette delle eccellenze del genere romance, fa il suo lavoro, riuscendo a intrattenere e regalare momenti di piacevole spensieratezza.
per essere una serie confortevole, la serie per evadere e sognare. anche se poi alla fine non sai se collocarla nelle eccellenze romance, fa il suo lavoro.

Reading the Bridgerton series from book one to eight feels like being invited into a warm, witty, slightly chaotic family you don’t want to leave. Julia Quinn’s strength lies in her ability to create distinct romantic pairings while keeping the Bridgerton siblings at the heart of the story.

Not every book is equal in strength, but that’s part of the charm. Some romances truly shine—The Viscount Who Loved Me and Romancing Mister Bridgerton stand out for their emotional depth, slow-burn tension, and satisfying character growth. Others lean more heavily into classic romance tropes and feel a bit dated at times, especially in how certain conflicts are handled.

What ties the series together is its warmth, humor, and sense of continuity. Watching the siblings grow, fall in love, and support one another adds an emotional payoff that works best when the books are read in order. The banter, family dynamics, and recurring appearances make the world feel alive and comforting.

While a few plots could have benefited from tighter pacing or deeper exploration of emotional consequences, the series remains immensely readable. It’s romantic without being overly heavy, emotional without tipping into melodrama, and perfect for when you want a comfort read with heart.

Overall, Bridgerton is a charming, binge-worthy historical romance series that delivers love stories, family bonds, and plenty of swoon. Not flawless, but undeniably enjoyable—and easy to revisit.

The Bridgerton series follows the eight Bridgerton siblings as they navigate love and relationships in Regency-era England. Each book focuses on a different sibling’s romantic journey, starting with The Duke and I, which centers on Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset. The series blends romance and family dynamics while addressing societal norms of the time.

These were such an easy read for me. I finished all eight books in about 2 months, between work and life. I loved how much you learned about each character, and got a bond with them all. I read all the books, and still asked for the hardcovers of them for Christmas, because I plan on re-reading them over the summer. I'm not a big romantic, but these books got me hooked.

Li depois que vi a serie, e ouso dizer que os livros são mais legais. Cada um acompanha a vida de algum dos irmãos. Logico, alguns livros são mais legais (Benedict e Francesca) e outros menos, mas é todos são romances fáceis e gostosos de ler.
