After the success of the Netflix show, I re-read Julia Quinn's historical romance series about the Bridgerton siblings. Like a scratched CD, it works but hits some snags.
The eight-part Netflix historical romance
Bridgerton has been watched by 82 million households since it premiered on Christmas Day 2020, and 41 percent of the streaming giant’s global audience. Unabashed in its admiration for a bygone world of wealth and privilege,
Bridgerton presents an alternative history in which early 19th century Regency England (so called because the Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne, ruled as “Prince Regent” in place of his mad father, King George III) was racially integrated.

While Louanne said love is very similar to how it was in the 19th century, the way we court or hook up in 2021 has altered significantly (Daphne and Simon pictured courting in Bridgerton)

While Louanne said love is very similar to how it was in the 19th century, the way we court or hook up in 2021 has altered significantly. While in the Bridgerton days, courting was a formal, impersonal, transactional process, we now court and hook up with hundreds of potential love interests with the swipe of an app, Louanne told FEMAIL.
