Dear reader, this author must inquire…what is the primary force that guides us on our paths? Is it our minds, or our hearts? Perhaps we should discover the answer together.... Bridgerton Season 3: Part 1 arrives May 16, only on Netflix pic.twitter.com/9xadNLOKAc

What is Bridgerton series three about?
We enter the new season as Lady Featherington herself, Penelope Featherington, prepares to abandon her longtime crush on the charming Colin Bridgerton.
At the end of series two, we see Penelope heartbroken after overhearing a conversation between Colin and a group of bachelors at the Featherington ball.
Already distraught that her identity as Lasy Whistledown has been discovered by her closest friend Eloise Bridgerton ( Claudia Jessie), Penelope then overhears Colin swearing he would never court her.
Although she's given up hope on a future with Colin, Penelope has turned her mind to marriage - particularly with a husband that will allow her to continue with a double life as the Ton's gossip columnist.
But as a shy and awkward wallflower, Penelope struggles to navigate the marriage mart.
Meanwhile, Colin returns from yet another summer of travel to find Penelope distancing herself from her.
