Join Serena and Sarah Jane in this passionate and dramatic episode of our Bridgerton book series breakdown, as we dive into On the Way to the Wedding, the thrilling and romantic conclusion to Julia Quinn's beloved series. This time, it's Gregory Bridgerton's turn to find love — and it seems to be just as easy as the rest of his life so far.

    With a compelling love triangle, a forced marriage, and secrets that could ruin everything, Gregory and his bride, Lucy, find themselves caught in a whirlwind friends to lovers romance. But the question remains: will Gregory burn for his new wife, or will the weight of secrets and societal expectations tear them apart?
