caitri Y'all I loved the Bridgerton series SO MUCH and so I picked up the first book and it is SO BAD. I knew going in that the book was going to be whitey mcstraightspace but dear lord. Turns out all of the characters are in different books so if I want to check in on my favorite, Penelope, Imma have to skip to like the third or fourth book. I don't even know where the fuck Marina is. And on top of that, book 2/season 2 will be all about Anthony "Diet Vanilla Sprite" Bridgerton and dear lord.
Anyway, I usually read queer romances, both fic and published, and reading straight people always seems to involve "you're hot, I'm hot, let's insert that dick into the vag." On top of which a lot of reviews talked about the banter and it's like. What banter? It's all "Pip pip cheerio, no I shan't take the biscuits with tea today."
Straight people, who hurt you? I mean obviously it was The Patriarchy but good lord.
