A breakdown of all your crushes

There is no shame in having binged all of the delicious Bridgerton in a day, nor in rewatching it multiple times in the days that followed. Netflix and Shondaland’s adaptation of Julia Quinn’s novels is all about coupling, and if you’re anything like us you might have developed more than a few crushes while finishing the season.
