But seeing it come to life in the hands of so many talented people who really got what romance is and understood how to make it into a television show…” she pauses and repeats herself. You only need to look at how many people, women especially, read and love romance to know that they’re going to love a show like Bridgerton. “I knew people wanted something like this, of course. “It’s gorgeous,” she says, knowing she can’t say much or she’ll spoil the fun for viewers. Quinn is fresh from having seen the final episodes of season two, which will air worldwide on March 25 th, and her excitement is almost breathless. This delight, tinged with a hue of pinch-me-is-this-real-life, returns over and over as we talk about Bridgerton. “Shonda ran out of books, and mine was in the hotel gift shop.” “That’s what I’m told, at least,” Quinn says with a delighted laugh as she recounts the story from her home in Seattle. The vacationing bibliophile in this case was Shonda Rhimes, the book was Julia Quinn’s The Duke and I, and the result of that literary encounter was Bridgerton, the stunning eight-episode series that would become Netflix’s most watched (until Squid Game), with more than 82 million households streaming the historical confection in its first month. And when we find it? There are no better books than those we read while on holiday.īut in this instance we aren't talking theoretically about just any reader, and the particular book in question definitely didn’t get left behind or forgotten when that reader returned home. We’ve all been there, on vacation, searching for the perfect read for our time away from real life-something fast and full of joy and maybe just a little sexy.
