“The room is warm and smells like dust, and just the presence of so many books makes it easier to breathe. It’s remarkable how being around books, even those you’ve never read, can have a calming effect, like walking into a crowded party and finding it full of people you know.” ― Mackenzi Lee, The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy.

Ngl, to me, Benedict and Eloise Bridgerton are just Henry Monty and Felicity Montague from the Gentlemans guide series in another font (in terms of their respective personalites, not relationship)

I would honestly love if Eloise had a character arc similar to Felicity, given the current direction of her lackluster proto-feminism

The more I think about the Montague siblings the more it seems to me that they're the unhealthy styles of attachment incarnate
