My interest in reading Bridgerton: 0% My interest in watching Sara roast Bridgerton: 100%

It’s wild how Penelope is described as ugly when her actress is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen

Nah don’t worry Daphne was forgotten in the show too 😭

I’m loving this cuz everyone on insta is saying they did Colin dirty in the series and he’s way better and sweeter in the book and i’m like ??? “r u sure ‘bout that?”

The reason why i dropped penelope and colin's book was the way he described her which is horrifying. what do you mean he never noticed her because of her weight and when she looses it he thinks that she is attractive but still didn't find her beautiful. i read romance to see dreamy swoon worthy men pining for their girl not for this.

The difference between the Bridgerton men on the show and the way they are in the books is so astounding to me. I've only seen screencaps of scenes from the books and I'm fairly certain Show!Benedict, Colin, and Anthony would absolutely despise their book counterparts.

"pleasantly rounded instead of a hideous pudge"... gurl i almost spit my water out lol.

There is an alternate universe where we saw Nicola coughlan be a wee little lesbian in Derry girls and bridgerton, Julia Quinn messed up fr

All the Bridgerton books have standard tropes (Fake Dating with Daphne, Enemies-to-Lovers with Anthony) and Colin and Pen have Friends-to-Lovers which might have worked, had they made Colin at least an ounce as obsessed with Penelope as Anthony was with Kate. Colin's love for Penelope in the series came very late, very surprising and felt luke warm. It still feels like she had to fight for him to notice her and while she is passionate about him, he seems to want to settle down with his bestie after screwing his way through half of Europe (Colin has STD's I swear). Coming right after Anthony's season, Colin looks even less passionately in love compared to his obsessed brother. And it's kind of sad, because Pen's story really looks like the 'plain' and unpopular ugly duckling will never have a man madly in love with her - which is the exact opposite Anthony's book as well, where Kate is actually described as "plain" and not at all beautiful, yet Anthony becomes totally obsessed with her and makes her feel like the most beautiful goddess in existence.

Almost everything about the show is so much better than the books. The toxicity of the men in the books... im glad the show is working HARD to change them.

i love how you forgot daphne because that seems to be exactly what happened during season 3 of bridgerton

First, I'd like to say I read the first bridgerton book and that was it for me. I hate the way Julia Quinn tone down on the violence men commit in her books, like it's such a normal thing, could not continue reading, so I'm not surprised it's present in the third book as well. But second and most important: girl, English is not my first language, and you talk SO FAST that when I noticed that I was able to understand everything and it wasn't fast forward I was just very proud of myself, so thank you for that. Also, 10/10 on articulation!!! Love your videos 😂

“please notice me senpai” 😂😂

Eloise and Penelope would've been end goal, we've literally been robbed 🤨

I've read three of these, and it's been painful every time. 😭 Anthony's book had me SO UNCOMFORTABLE, I only picked up "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton" (skipping Benedict's book entirely) because I thought Penelope was cute. But it turns out they're just all painful to read.

I kept waiting fot the grovel. And it just never happened. Just absolutely no growth from him at all.

Bridgerton aside, how do you look even more gorgeous than normal in this video??? A literal fairy princess 😭😭😭

A lesbian roast-review of Bridgerton is kinda all I needed I feel like other people just don't get it

colin in the show is MILESSSS better than book colin. i find it so crazy that people prefer him in the books.

going from watching the show to reading the books is FULL whiplash like literally every man in the books is an AWFUL person

I'm so concerned for the people wanting the show to be book accurate. Like... the show already has very problematic moments (ex.: the SA of the Duke by Daphne) and the books are even worse. It's like complaining that Game of Thrones doesn't have enough SA scenes.

why are all the bridgerton men so into manhandling women? I'm reading when he was wicked and 100 pages in this Michael dude is like shaking Francesca and scaring her. and then the characters just forget about that incident like it was nothing. what is Julia Quinn's deal with making her MMCs abusive for no reason? it's like a weird author kink or sth.

The she falls first trope is just so not it especially when Colin just sucks

babe wake up sarawithoutanH posted

"Colin is literally the worst" *Looks over at Philip Crane* Oh, she hasn't seen anything yet. It gets so much worse. These books are UNHINGED with how bad they get sometimes. Even the best ones have weird shit in them.

Calling the epilogue “babylogue /babylog” ☠️ so accurate ☠️😂 Telling the comments to save their breath 😂 yesss, especially when it’s the very first time! 🫧

I had an intense historical romance phase and I’m SO happy people are finding out how bad they are. And how good they can be hopefully too!

I didn’t think I could like Colin less but here we are

"I need this man to just....don't" LMAO REAL

When I write a romance I’m writing it for us childless by choice women. Also everyone should read T. Kingfisher’s fantasy romance novels, which are me-girl approved

I love when you get the cork board out 😂

Whole video has me gagged with just how awful and abusive Colin manages to be, and I thought him on the show was as bad as it could get, but ig we should never underestimate horny & insecure straight women

Omg I’d dieeee for this type of video of all books 🥰 you ateee I don’t wanna read the books but wanna know what it’s about and you executed it really well 🤍🤍

Once Sara, her bubble wand and a character board comes out, NOBODY IS SAFE and the gorrlies are SHAKING 😂. These are theee bessssttt🥲✨

I've read the first 5 bridgerton books and they are all problematic - colin is just a little shit and I stand on that. BUT I hate benedicts book its just the worst and I do not understand why everyone loves it.

honstly i'd love to see a recap of all the bridgerton books, they were my intro to regency/historical romance!! i'd really recommend checking out the league of extraordinary women. the first one feels more in line with traditional historical romances and is probably the weakest imo, but all the main girls are suffragists. i absolutely adore the later books because they have such nuanced takes on feminism of the time and male leads that are to die for. plus i'm fairly sure the 2 girls in the last books are neurodivergent (ADHD/ADD and autistic?) coded which was SO REFRESHING to see. it's a criminally underrated series

Looking like a magical fairy with the bubbles as a wand and I’m obsessed. I never liked Colin, he just gives me the ick. Pen deserves better 💖

Never seen or read Bridgerton, have no desire to. But please make more of these!! 😊

Girly, wait until you read about our most hated Sir Phillip Crane 😂

Finallyyyyy a place where I am free to hate on Colin. I. Hate. Him.

Personally, I would love more of these videos! I don’t want to actually read the books but I’m invested now lol

You should totally read more of the books! You're so good at summaries!

Girl, ur commentary always cracks me up! Thanks for lifting up my mood today :)

Yess more Bridgerton books please!! Love your commentary ❤🫧

Not the murder style board 😂

I loved your review of this book. Can’t wait to see more of your videos now that I’ve found you 😊

This was such a great video idea because I just finished the season and wanted to know what happened in the book but I don’t actually want to READ the book

Your videos never fail to crack me up 😂

Supreme bubble blowing. Well done, Sara

Never in my life have I subscribed to a channel after only seeing 1 video. Girl I subbed halfway through this! ❤

HAHAHHA i have not sputtered that much while watching a video!! such a good oneeee

this is the first video of yours that i watched and i enjoyed it so much! please do more of the Bridgerton books - I have no desire at all to read them but I am very much interested in having their contents explained to me in such a fun way!

You absolutely killed it bestie

Never read Bridgerton but living for this roast

Got and ad for Bridgerton before this video and it cracked me up!

I’ve read up to Francesca’s book and they’re ok, they’re kind of fun but then a man does something horrible and is forgiven when he should def not be 🙃

I prob will never read the books but yes I need you to do this with every single one of the books. The show isn't perfect but I know it's leaaagues of the books based on what I've heard haha

Wait a someone who read previous books told me although she lost weight, it’s happened gradually, and even with the lost weight Colin still saw her as a friend previously. She told me it’s not like Pen suddenly lost weight, Colin saw her and started to fall in love. Can someone who read all previous books confirm this? I’m kinda confused now

after I watched a few clips of the season on Facebook and read some comments I didn’t re-sign up for Netflix to watch it. I feel like I saw enough clips to decide it wasn’t worth it. Thanks for your video.

as someone who just finished watching bridgerton s3 part 2 last night, the show is 100% better than the book (i have a few gripes about the show but its def better than the book)

As someone who has declared loudly and often that RMB is easily my least favorite book in the entire series, this is so validating.

This is the only book review that matters.

ayyy atlanta girlies. you’re so right, it’s very hot outside 😭 .

This is just what I need bc I have no desire to read it but want the story lol ❤❤

Yes please do derp dives in more!❤

🫧🫧🫧 yes, please do the other Bridgerton books too!

Omg I love your dress so much! Can you tell me where you got it? 😢

🫧 I also started with this book and then promptly stopped reading after Eloise's book😐 And yes please make videos on the first and second books!!!

love these bridgerton recaps, the series is my guilty pleasure and i was lowkey tempted to read the books to practice my english (it’s not my first language) and instead of doing a rewatch but this is way better considering how insufferable and problematic the male leads are (read some comments about benedict that made me go 💀), thx fo sacrificing for all of us

I need more recaps of the books

i got a bridgerton ad lol

I actually disagree with the fact that "the woman falls first" never happens. I think it's pretty realistic that a younger girl falls in love with someone a bit older who doesn't even think of her that way because she's still young, she's friends with his little brother etc.

Nah, show Colin is also a dick. I liked book Penelope a bit better than show Penelope simply because she stood up to him a LITTLE more, but he's a jerk. This story, to me, read like an unpopular girl's daydream about the popular guy she's been fantasizing about suddenly (and without reason) being totally into her and they live happily ever after rather than like an even marginally believable romance.

It seems that Julia Quinn has a HABIT of describing her own female leads as plain, average, or even unattractive. That’s how DAPHNE was described in her book!!! The Bridgerton girls as a WHOLE were described as, essentially, UNREMARKABLE! The brothers were soooo dreamy and everyone wanted them 😒 but the girls? Meh. I find the TV series to be about 1000x better!

Love this pov 🫧

YES DO MORE

I think Benedict is way worse in the books. I rage quit his book. He’s completely awful. Colin is bad but not as bad. I did completely give up on the books after Colin though.

🫧 okay so series colin is MUCH better than the books got it

missed your videos sis

Thank you for saving me from reading this. You're doing the lord's work here

“The sex scene wasn’t even that good” that’s a crime itself, RIP :(

I want to see you being disgusted at Benedicts book. God that was an awful one

I dropped the series after 1st season (if you watched it you know why) but I dragged myself through last 4 eps for Penelope alone so this video is just perfect :3

THANK YOU for doing this. As I am seriously sick and tired of the show fandom acting like ANY of the book versions of the Bridgerton men are superior to the show. Most of them are spoiled, abusive A-holes who barely tolerate the women they're with until much, much later. Also, they tend to be a abusive towards them, very much emotionally and sometimes physically (looking at you, book Anthony and the way he physically shoves around book Kate. Show Kate would've rightfully beat his ass for that). Don't even get me started on how Julia Quinn seems to have a pathological need to have women be physically weaker. Quinn should thank the old gods and new that Shonda and the team updated the books and made men decent people. Cause these book stans are either lying to themselves or need their heads checked on touting the superiority of the books.

Show colin is miles ahead of book colin, it's so unnecessary the way he talks about Penelope's appearance (and that goes for everyone in the book as well). Also can you tell us where's the dress from? It's sooo pretty 🫧🫧

I AM DESPERATE FOR YOU TO DO KATE/ANTHONY’S BOOK! I think the show is much better and I fight for my LIFE with that opinion in my book circles because the 2nd book is well-loved by my peers. 💀 Bridgerton is such a fantastic example of a show series that I truly prefer to the book. During the first season, I was a bit skeptical (especially about the Lady Whistledown reveal) - however, I also hate Daphne and Simon. I really almost didn’t even watch the show/engage with the rest of the series because of how much I hate how Daphne assaults Simon, but I love a good period drama, so I stuck with it. I’m a big Kanthony fan, so I decided to watch season 2 to really make my judgement… my jaw was DROPPED! The chemistry between Simone and Jonathan truly blew the book out of the water. And Edwina’s character arc in the show was so meaningful and well-written. It would have been so easy to make Edwina stupid, unlikable, or to forget about her perspective entirely and brush her away to focus on Kate… but the show didn’t do that and I respect them very much for it. The scene where she tells them off at the altar was well-deserved, as much as it hurt to watch! And it was during that season that I started to really appreciate the changes from the books. I’m still a bit annoyed by some side stories, but the friendship between Lady Danbury and Violet is so beautiful (AND Violet’s next chance at love!). And I’ve grown to love the early Lady W reveal. It totally makes sense in the context of the show, and watching Penelope actually BE an enterprising woman and the honest anxiety of watching her try to hide her identity endeared her to me. Plus, I think the early reveal goes very well with the angle they’re spinning in the show about Penelope originally starting Lady W partly because of resentment for not being treated well by society, but now she’s grown and wants to use her newfound voice for a better purpose. I think it added so much emotion to her character. I love the scene in season 2 where we see her crying and breaking her quill for having to publish about Eloise. It really goes to show that while Lady W is her voice, there are consequences to her actions and the persona has tumbled a bit out of her control. Seeing her wrestle with that made her feel so nuanced and human. I don’t like how, in the book, they really brush away all the harm Lady W has done. In the show, they can’t do that because of the big Eloise/Theo thing… so making Penelope more apologetic in the show is a good move on their part. Especially because a lot of fans were NOT team Penelope after that. Now that season 3 part 2 has come out, I’ve seen SO much support for Penelope. I love that, because I do love her character in the book and show. AND, since I HATE Colin in the book and the show, I love seeing the hate for his character 💀 (but not the actor, because he truly is doing his best). I love how they presented the internal conflict Penelope goes through when she realizes this thing she’s wanted for almost all of her life (being a Bridgerton) is jeopardized by her newfound passion… GOD, what a well-written internal conflict. The decision between, “This is the only thing I’ve wanted for so long,” and, “I’ve created something so valuable to me,” was so real. How can she sacrifice one for the other? And such a good representation of a woman’s struggle in this time period and even to THIS VERY DAY! That choice between following your dream and being completely autonomous vs. having the family you’ve always wanted… UGH, chills. There are only two changes in season 3 that I don’t like: taking out Penelope’s relationship with Lady Danbury, and making her a little TOO apologetic for being Lady W. I love the carriage scene in the book not because of the intimacy, but because of the way Penelope expresses herself to Colin and how passionately she defends her work as Lady W. I just loved her basically saying, “You may not understand or respect what I’ve done, but I’M proud of it, and fuck you for trying to make me feel differently!” Eat him up, girl! 😭 And with Lady Danbury, I just liked that relationship and wanted to see Penelope become a favorite with a respected Bridgerton elder. I appreciate how they leave that door open for the future, BUT… and don’t hate me for this… I’d actually love to see Penelope form that close relationship with the Queen instead. The Queen is such a better character in the show. Seeing her find companionship with Penelope, who she’s treated as a rival in the form of Lady W all these years, and becoming a mentor-like figure to her after realizing how much Penelope reminds her of her younger self… I WANT THAT SO BADLY! Other side notes: as someone who read the books before watching the series, YEP - the Lady W reveal in the book had me GAGGED AND BAGGED 😭 gaping at my book like a fish. I think the books are worth reading in the sense that I love book/TV analysis and think being able to compare the two is valuable. However, in terms of which books are GOOD… 😬 I think Daphne’s book should be eradicated from the planet. Anthony and Benedict’s books are worth the read. Eloise’s book is terribly boring to me, but worth the read if you like the series or character. Francesca’s book is surprisingly good, but her emotional plot revolves around her recent miscarriage, so if that’s a trigger or turn-off for you, then it can put a damper on it. I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t read Gregory or Hyacinth’s books. 😅

colin has now replaced daphne as my least favorite bridgerton

A friend of mine told me I HAD TO read the books, even though I wasn't much of a fan of the series to begin with, because they were SO MUCH better. So I, optimistically, got all of them on audible and suffered through them. I really really want you to review the 5th book because Sir Phillip is the hate of my life, I have never despised a fictional character more than him and I really want to watch you roast this book/him.

I literally dnfed the second one after anthony kicked kate😅

I love Julia Quinn books, but i have to agree that they have some huge red flags. I really respect everyone who does´t like them, although you have to remember that they are supossed to be set in the 1800´s and were written 25 years ago, so of course there´s going to be things that are not aceptable in 2024 . With that being said, yes the books are not great, but they were the first books i read after years of not reading a single one and they were really a great escapism in the first 2020 shutdown , so they will always have a special place in my heart! But i love your video as always, and had fun watching it

I will never watch the show( as I don't have Netflix) and* I will likely never read the books. But I love watching your bulletin board reviews.

Ill come back wheni e done this book. Im only up to 2 rn 😅

Interesting that the show seems to follow almost everything perfectly, apart from Colin being shit

Not with Phillip around.

I am begging you to do Benedict's book. I hear it's a hot mess and you would absolutely crush a review of it.

I loved this book but this review made me realise its because i have terrible taste in men. I go for losers apparently

Honestly Philip is the worst....Eloise deserves better and Colin and Benedict are so bad at their boooks. Glad at least in the show they're much better, hope it stays that way! Love your video as always!!

TWENTYEIGHT?! Ayo.. big ass time jump

Colin is the worst! He’s somewhat better in the tv show than the book, but not by much.

As a Colin hater(I don’t like him in the book OR the show)I knew I immediately had to click
