Queen Charlotte: Before the Bridgertons Came the Love Story That Changed the Ton...
Queen Charlotte: Before the Bridgertons Came the Love Story That Changed the Ton... | Shonda Rhimes, Julia Quinn
18 posts | 11 read | 4 to read
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix."We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his..."In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent... not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets... secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court... all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight--for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny... as Queen.

I finished this a few weeks ago, but I felt compelled to write a review because I absolutely loved this #audiobook and it is my favorite of the Bridgerton series by far. I also loved the show. I was hesitant to watch it at first but I ended up liking it even more than the regular series! The ending of both the show and the book had me tearing up. 🥹 So if you haven‘t watched it yet give it a try! 5⭐️ #Bridgerton #QueenCharlotte #regency

Deblovestoread I haven‘t listened to the book yet but love this series. I think the ending is one of the most touching scenes in TV history. 2mo

This was so much better than the series and Queen Charolette is my favourite Bridgeton series on Netflix, which says something because I love the show. I thought because Shonda Rhimes also wrote the book that is would be a carbon copy, but I should have known better. There is always so much more details and scenes that are cut out of the book for an adaptation. If you want to learn more about this couple I highly recommend reading the book. 😍

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would as historicals aren‘t really my jam. I really liked that since this was written after the show it was not whitewashed, but full of color - and also that it was a sign of changing of the times.

Next up: Reading at/in the pool as long as the weather allows.

Just got my library copy of the book in so thoughts pending but have some general overview thoughts on the show over on YouTube which is only like 25% a defense of the traditional happily ever after (only in that some reviews were using coded derogatory language toward the HEA as if to argue the Queen Charlotte exploration is inherently better for not being the traditional HEA & why not both.)

I have a bottle of chilled prosecco. An entire new season of Bridgerton(ish). AND THREE DAYS OFF.
I am giddy with excitement. This is the dream.

Mrs_B Update: I have half a bottle of warmer Prosecco. I have most of a series of Bridgerton(ish). And I still have THREE MORE DAYS OFF. 😂 2y
ChaoticMissAdventures @Mrs_B I was going to wait until this weekend but watched 3 episodes last night! 🤣 2y
