Bridgerton Book Change Can Make Benedict's Story Even Better In Season 4
Bridgerton's change from the books could be beneficial for Benedict's story in season 4.

One reason why this book change is good for Benedict's story is that his romance with Sophie happens over a long period of time. After Sophie departs
