For Episode 5, we knew we could not exclude the thoughts of Julia Quinn’s largest fan base - Brazil! So we spoke with the founder of the hugely followed Julia Quinn Brazil social media channels, Mariana Fonseca. We discuss what made her fall in love with Julia Quinn and why Julia is treated like a Beatle whenever she’s in Brazil. We also talk about her favorite Bridgerton book, if Netflix and Shonda Rhimes did Julia justice, and just what we think might happen in a second season. 

So many thanks to Mariana for joining us for this episode!Follow Julia Quinn Brasil on:Facebook Instagram and Twitter!And listen to their podcast, Chá no Número 5 everywhere you get podcasts!
