They have given me The Crown and The Queen’s Gambit, and sure, I’ll admit that Bridgerton was an adaptation worth waiting for. That’s not to say that I don’t have faith in Netflix generally. Yet fans of the BookTok cult classic aren’t convinced that the streamer can do it justice…and I’m one of them. If you haven’t heard, Netflix is set to release a film adaptation of New York Times best seller The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, news they announced via Instagram in March. So I’m determined not to let Netflix ruin the Evelyn Hugo for me.
