Let’s talk about the line “until he knows the real you, he can not possibly love you”

There’s a lot to unpack in that line because to a certain extent Eloise is talking about herself and not just Colin.

Colin does know the real Penelope. He’s the only one who truly does, maybe her lady’s mad Rae can be added to that list, but it’s really only Colin who does.

Eloise never truly knew Pen, despite their closeness and friendship prior to the LW reveal. Eloise didn’t really listen to Pen when she said she did want marriage. Eloise is and was a good friend and person, she just is a tunnel-vision focused person.

Colin, while not knowing Pen is Whistledown, does in fact know her, all of her to be more precise. That’s where the love comes from. For Eloise to not see that is pretty telling.

Eloise is somewhat shocked by realizing Pen has had feelings for her brother for a long time. This is also interesting. If Eloise had truly been paying attention she would have noticed from the jump. But again, Eloise has always been focused elsewhere. Also she’s angry because she might now believe that Pen used Eloise to get to Colin. But that again leads to Eloise having tunnel vision and not truly knowing Pen.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Eloise and I love her arc, I just need her to chill out for a movement.

I can't stop thinking how perfect a song Hungry Eyes is from Colin's POV about his feelings for Pen in season 3! I mean c'mon guys just look at the lyrics! An old song I know but bloody perfect! 😍 Hungry eyes indeed 😉

I recently reread and finished Julia Quinn's book, Romancing Mister Bridgerton for the first time in 10 years.

I was just as enthralled with it now as I was when I first read it in 2003 while I was in high school.

It's quite interesting how immature Colin could be and how he overlooked Penelope for at least 10 years.

10/10

I'm also looking forward to and dreading seeing how the Netflix adaptation changes the plot, etc.
