We’re not sure when Francesca’s season of Bridgerton will come out on Netflix, but we couldn’t wait to find out the rest of her story — so we went straight to the source material.

Compared to the other books in Julia Quinn’s series, When He Was Wicked offers a very different kind of romance. It makes sense for Francesca, who’s the black sheep of the Bridgerton family. Even though she wasn’t the primary focus, we saw more of the reserved and independent Francesca (Hannah Dodd) than ever before in Season 3. It laid the groundwork for her story, which deals with more intense themes compared to the other seven books.
