Each story is an epilogue of sorts, updating readers on what is happening with their favorite characters after each of their books. That being said, readers who have not read all the books in the Bridgerton series would not fully appreciate the events and stories in this novel. I highly recommended starting with book one, to experience the magic that Quinn has created.
Before each story, Quinn pens a quick note on what the vignette is about and particularly why she decided to write the story. It's great insight into the mind of the author and will have fans rejoicing as they return to the crazy family antics that have made this series so well-loved.
Lastly, Quinn gives readers a treat! Violet in Bloom is a short novella featuring the author's most favorite Bridgerton. Violet is the mother to all the heroes and heroines we've met but for the first time, we meet Edmund Bridgerton, her husband. For me, this was an exclusive I had to have my hands on!
THE BRIDGERTONS: HAPPILY EVER AFTER is an exceptionally well-written collection of stories. As an avid fan, I found myself returning to the first time I read the books and wishing I could read them again. Quinn brings back fond memories and creates new ones that show how family and love can conquer all.
Book Summary
Once upon a time, a historical romance author created a family . . .
But not just any family. Eight brothers and sisters, assorted in-laws, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews (not to mention an overweight corgi) plus an irrepressible matriarch who's a match for any of them . . . These are the Bridgertons: less a family than a force of nature. Through eight bestselling novels, readers laughed, cried, and fell in love. But they wanted more.
And so the readers asked the author . . .
What happens next? Does Simon ever read his father's letters? Do Francesca and Michael become parents? Who would win in a Pall Mall grudge match?
Does "The End" really have to be the end?
Now, with The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, Julia Quinn delivers eight sexy, funny, and heartwarming "2nd Epilogues" plus a bonus story about none other than the wise and witty matriarch Violet Bridgerton herself. So get to know the Bridgertons all over again—because Happily Ever After is a whole lot of fun.
