Summary
Eloise and Cressida, along with half the women of the ton (not Penelope, she stays in London, keeping up morale as a columnist), go to the countryside during World War II, arranged by the Women's Land Army. When the boys aren’t around, what is a girl to do?

Summary
Perhaps an overlooked point of contention within their (fairly) new courtship: Cressida Cowper is too diligent a student regarding the finer points of feminine etiquette and flirting while Eloise Bridgerton is wholly uninterested (and uneducated) in feminine etiquette.
Or: Eloise is woefully oblivious and Cressida is perpetually (sexually) frustrated.

Poor Cressida. Oblivious Eloise. Perfect language.

Summary
“You should try writing to her, even if you are not to send them. I find, when I have so many feelings that I am unsure what to do with them, it helps to release them creatively.”
“But you draw, and I’m not much of a writer honestly. Well… most of the time anyway.”
“There are all kinds of writers you know. You believe yourself to not be a writer because there are so many of them already around you, but the world is full of creativity, full of art, full of someone who will always be better at something than you Eloise. Besides, I’m not asking you to publish a book of poetry for a long-lost lover. I’m just saying, try an outlet for once that doesn’t involve smoking on a swing?”
At that she had laughed but she had gone to bed with Michaela’s advice singing in the back of her mind and then had spent many nights when she couldn’t sleep in Scotland doing exactly as she had suggested.
And now Eloise stared at the never-to-be recipient of dozens of letters that hide in her desk drawer that resides in her room at Aubrey Hall and she is none-the-wiser and oddly calm and beautiful for someone who has been stuck with sheep for the last year.

Summary
“It does not matter, Cressida,” She says, sitting down beside her on the, certainly not made for sitting, little drawer in front of the window closest to Eloise’s table, “letters still exist and I would be delighted to exchange them with you.”
Cressida is afraid of putting meaning where there is none to put but she thinks she sees in Eloise’s eyes a desperate plea for agreement. It appears so concrete that it leaves Cressida speechless, she finds.
“Wouldn’t you?” Eloise asks when she doesn’t say anything and the desperate plea transforms to apprehensiveness and fearful disappointment.
“Yes,” Cressida swallows, “Yes, I would.” She gets up and says, more to herself than to Eloise, “It is settled then.”

Summary
It has been four years since Eloise has seen Cressida Cowper and, in that time, both women's lives have changed for the better. They are freer, more confident, and undoubtedly wiser.
With Cressida's sudden return to the ton, Eloise seeks to rekindle their friendship and Cressida is powerless to refuse her. It is not long after they reunite that they discover that friendship is not all they desire from one another.
OR
A Creloise love story that takes place four years after season 3.

Summary
Before her last year at Oxford, Eloise Bridgerton is hiding away in Bath for the Summer. Cressida Cowper is doing the exact same. It would be best if they avoided each other.
Funnily enough, they don't.

A wonderful concept written brilliantly. Subtitled Cressida learns to drive. The last chapter is gold!
