Romancing Mr Bridgerton by Julia Quinn is one of my favourite. I always compare myself with Penelope Featherington, the heroine of this book. She is a wallflower, unpopular and the one they say will never marry. She is, by the society standard, not beautiful (ugly sound so harsh) and a confirmed spinster. And yes, that how i look myself
In this book, Penelope loves Colin Bridgerton for a long time. Unfortunately, he took a long time as well to return the feeling. But when he did, he do it right. It is no suprise if I say that I'm waiting for my own Colin Bridgerton. Someone who looks me in the eye and said
"I don't know. I don't know when, I don't know how, and to be honest, I don't care. But i know this much is true: I love you, and I hate myself for not seeing the real you all these years."
This is a wistful thinking from my part. Huhu..I know there is no Mr Bridgerton who will say
"I don't think you changed. At least not very much.But then one day I realized I was seeing something different when I looked at you. Maybe I changed.Maybe I grew up."
I know I'm being silly. But I think being silly is the best thing I do. Anyhow, as much as it is a fairy tale, I still love this book very much. After all Penelope have been through, she deserves it.
And for me?
It's ok.
We never know right?
Maybe MY Mr Bridgerton is right in front of me and I did not notice it.
Hehe.
It's Ok. Take your time.
Like Penelope, I'll be waiting ;)
